That was with FULL avira package
The free one doesnt include spyware updates

It was the free one.

Avira scored 95.54%, Avast 93.78% (behind AVG), and NOD32 93.36%.

In that case you want either NOD32 or Kaspersky, neither of which are free.

I managed to download a free version of Kaspersky?

You need to register it

I was just trying to register again for Avast and got as far as them sending me the "key" in an email but going back to their site I could not find the "blue a ball". Seem to remember from when I first registered that it is a ball shape. Any idea why it is not at the bottom right hand corner of the screen - what am I doing wrong?

That was v2 engine which was the beta its on v3 at the moment and they don't have any heuristics there coming soon.

These are some newer results by a different company http://www.virusbtn.com/news/2008/09_02
Don't think Comodo will be added until the heuristics come out.
