Quote:

Some of our competitors try to diminish the value of free antivirus (typically, because they have no free antivirus to offer). However, to prove the effectiveness of avast! Free Antivirus, we submit ONLY our free antivirus software for independent tests against our competitors’ paid-for products.

Also, as some companies tend to ‘cherry-pick’ only particular parts of test results (even from different tests) to present their products, we decided to show you test results as they are – and let you compare.

Sounds like marketing hype to me, especially since the hype is coming from avast's own website.

At least they're using valid data, although I'm tired of these things.
