Avira Antivirus Pro: Review and download

Avira Antivirus Pro offers advanced protection technologies (e.g. cloud-based A.I.) that proactively secure you against malware attacks designed to steal your identity, wallet and personal data. This multi-platform license runs on both Windows and Mac OS.

Just about every major threat to your PC’s system is covered by the program. This includes viruses and malware, worms, Trojans, adware, Spyware, and phishing. Avira AntiVir features real-time, on-access scanning so you can be sure you are protected 24 hours a day. There are also manual options for full system scans and it automatically keeps its virus database updated with the latest potential threats.

Avira AntiVir’s interface is pretty run of the mill although similar in style to another antivirus program, Avast. An easily accessible POP3-based MailScanner is also available for Avira AntiVir users. It scans emails before they are stored on your machine. The simple interface highlights what’s missing – parental controls, game mode, firewall and antispam filters.

Avira AntiVir is extremely easy to navigate and read and doesn’t leave you wondering whether it’s in scan mode, updated, or ready to go. Everything is laid out plainly and simply, something beginner users will undoubtedly appreciate. Avira AntiVir also has some humorously named status windows, such as Luke Filewalker, which give this tool a bit more personality than most other antivirus programs.

Avira AntiVir is one very solid anti-virus suite that runs so well you’ll hardly notice it. It’s easy to use for beginners, but does lack some tools we like to see in security suites.
