Avira has been on a mission since 1986: To protect people like you in a connected world across all devices. Its innovative German engineering consistently achieves best-in-class results in independent security tests. Headquartered near Lake Constance in Germany, Avira is subject to some of the strictest data protection laws in the world. Unlike many other security vendors, it doesn’t share or sell your data — and never will. The company now has over 100 million users worldwide and offers a range of premium and free products as well as advanced security suites.

• Real-time protection

Avira offers real-time protection against all types of threats to your files and identity, including zero-day (brand-new) threats. The system scanner quickly checks your entire system for threats, so these can be quarantined and safely removed. You’re in control: Configure the system scanner to search for all types of files or specific extensions, change the priority level of the scanner, and turn sub-features on or off. 

• Avira Protection Cloud

When a suspicious file is detected, its digital fingerprint is sent to the cloud where it is checked against the Avira database and instantly identified as safe or dangerous. 200k suspicious files are scanned like this every day, and 10k new virus strains are added to the database daily! This way, collective intelligence is used to generate herd immunity — and a safer online community. Avira’s cloud-based technology is highly efficient and boasts an official 99.9% detection rate. 

• Multiple layers

It takes more than malware detection to stay secure in today’s world, which is why Avira offers many layers of advanced protection. In addition to shielding you from a spectrum of fast-evolving malware, Avira patches device and system vulnerabilities with its Software Updater. It also helps keep your online accounts secure with the Password Manager — its unique “Security Status” feature shows you in real time if an account, website, or password has been breached. 

• Privacy protection

Using a VPN lets you surf securely and anonymously, even on public hotspots. Avira’s Phantom VPN encrypts your web traffic and masks your online activities for complete privacy and freedom, so you can shop, bank, and browse safely, wherever you are. Phantom VPN is available as a free or Pro solution, but only the paid version offers all-you-can-eat data. Also consider other tools, like Avira Browser Safety. This discreet browser extension for Chrome, Firefox, and Opera blocks infected pop-ups and phishing websites.

• Performance boosters

Avira promises that its Antivirus has the industry’s smallest footprint, so it won’t slow you down. Their offering has also moved beyond “just” security. System Speedup clears your device of all the stuff it doesn’t need, like temp files, internet junk, and unnecessary user data. The result? A faster PC and more disk space. The Pro version (get it as a stand-alone product or with Avira Prime) also offers restoration and backup tools, plus a battery optimizer.

The interface design of Avira’s antivirus program is very sleek, modern, and easy to understand. Using mostly toggle buttons, it simplifies things for non-technical users. All the main and important features are on the main screen, allowing users to easily scan their computer, turn certain features on or off, and change to game mode without having to search through complicated settings. The more “complex” features and settings are easily accessible through the sidebar menu on the left, making things very convenient and straightforward for all types of users.
