Good antivirus detector to secure your data

3.0 2 years ago

Comments: Overall it's quite good.

Pros:

It does have a good malware process and detects many threats.

Cons:

My issue with this software is that it considers any unknown file or link on a website as a possible threat and then blocks it, so it needs an update for this bug.

5.0 5 months ago

Pros:

I have found quite a few good things about Avira. It's Smart Scan worked brilliant and has been doing well in my test environment with trying to get it to catch various malware thrown at it. Good notifications, pop ups are instant on critical detections. Firewall seems good, still playing with it.

Cons:

Really haven't found anything, I'm still comparing pricing, so we'll see where it falls versus other suits.

Avira Antivirus Pro Review

5.0 2 years ago

Pros:

I appreciated that Avira Antivirus Pro offers thorough defense against viruses, spyware, ransomware, and other internet threats. Additionally, it offers sophisticated features like real-time defense, a firewall, and risk-free browsing. Also, the user interface is incredibly simple to use, which makes it ideal for new users.

Cons:

The price of Avira Antivirus Pro is its main drawback. Even though it is one of the less expensive antivirus applications, it is still more expensive than some of its rivals. Also, some users have said that the program can be sluggish and slow, which affects the performance of the system as a whole.

Avira Antivirus review

4.0 3 years ago

Pros:

Avira Antivirus Pro is a robust antivirus program that helps to safeguard your computer. It protects you from a wide range of malware, viruses, trojans, and other threats 24 hours a day, seven days a week. It also saves you from malicious files that may try to access your system while you're online.

Cons:

It is more expensive, though, and it is not always accurate in identifying viruses and possibly malware, and it can occasionally cause the laptop or computer to slow down. Other than that, i am happy with all other feature with this antivirus software.

Should You Get Avira Antivirus Pro? We Weigh the Pros and Cons

5.0 2 years ago

Comments: Avira Antivirus pro is a great antivirus program for those with a little more money to spend. It's one of the most comprehensive antivirus programs out there and offers both real-time scanning, on-demand scanning, antispam filters, system optimization tools, and more. However, this program is not cheap—it's $60 per year (or $120 for three years), though you can find some deals that lower that cost by as much as half if you buy in bulk. That being said, this one is worth checking out if you're looking for something robust without a ton of extra features you may not need. As with any purchase decision, make sure to read through customer reviews before making your decision. Customers found that while the app had an easy installation process, many encountered issues after installation. The company responded quickly to all reports of these issues and was able to fix them right away. Customers were also pleased with how responsive the customer service department was when they required assistance or had questions about the product itself. A drawback customers reported was that they could not select specific files from their computers for protection against malware and viruses. One reviewer also found that it caused other software he had installed on his computer, like Microsoft Office, to crash every time he opened them up, requiring him to contact tech support, which thankfully resolved his issue within hours.

Pros:

Avira Antivirus Pro has earned a name as one of the leading antivirus software packages on the market, with over 120 million installations worldwide. But how does it really stack up? We’ve taken an in-depth look at this popular program to uncover its pros and cons.Avira Antivirus Pro is a popular antivirus software with features that are not available on many of its competitors. It comes with real-time protection, spam filter, email scanning, vulnerability scanner, file encryption, parental controls, and web protection. These features combine to make it one of the most comprehensive antiviruses on the market. It also has an intuitive interface that is easy to use for people who don't have a lot of technical experience. There's also a free version of the software, so you can test drive before committing. The Cons: The biggest complaint about Avira Antivirus Pro is that it takes up quite a bit of system resources because it offers so many security options. If your computer is already bogged down by other programs, this may be too much for your machine to handle.

Cons:

While there are many positives to using Avira Antivirus Pro, there are also a few negatives that need to be considered. One of the biggest disadvantages is that it can significantly slow down your computer if you have a lot of other programs running in the background. The other downside is that it does not have an app for Apple devices. Finally, some people don't like how they need to pay every year for this software. However, others find this helpful because it forces them to make sure their security is up-to-date each year. If you don't want to commit to paying annually then these antivirus solutions may not be right for you.

Great All Inclusive package.

5.0 2 years ago

Comments: Avira has been a great asset to our protection. The options available, such as the VPN and Password Manager, are great adds.

Pros:

I like that Avira offered a free version as well as the paid version. The additional options with the paid version have been well worth the cost. Being able to protect up to 6 items and keep them all safe is a plus.

Cons:

Nothing at this time. The features offered are all good.

Avira Antivirus

4.0 3 years ago

Comments: In terms of performance, my experience with the program throughout the years has been positive.
It is, in my opinion, one of the greatest and most powerful antivirus and spyware programs available.

Pros:

Continuous virus detection without user intervention, as the application runs a scan from time to time to detect viruses, and when the user downloads programs from the Internet or files, Avira checks and verifies that they are virus-free.

Cons:

The software sometimes sends out false alarms, alerting the user to the presence of a virus or malicious program. These are not accurate notifications. also, the software's interface is old and out-of-date, and accessing all features is tough.

Pros:

It is an anti-virus program called (the solar program), and this program is one of the oldest and most famous protection and anti-virus programs for its speed in finding and deleting viruses, and it is produced by the German company (Avira), so that it is based on protecting Microsoft's filesystems and is also based on repairing parts Damaged system files.

Cons:
