### "Avira Antivirus review"

August 24, 2021

4.0

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.

### "Great Protection for the Price"

August 23, 2021

4.0

In the 14+ years, I've used their software for solid protection and it maintains up-to-date with security protocols.

Pros

Avira uses lower system resources than the competitors and allows easy custom protection.

Cons

The trial has lots of interrupting advertisements.

Alternatives considered

Reason for choosing Avira Antivirus Pro

The cost is lower and it is less abusive on system resources.

### "Good antivirus detector to secure your data"

February 10, 2023

3.0

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.

### "Avira is the most functional!"

March 26, 2022

5.0

I find it to be exceptionally good for what it is! I felt very guarded on my information and other important things. It works as a silent guardian on your PC even blocking you from downloading probably safe files, but I trust it nevertheless.

Pros

I find this software to be very appropriate for my use. I love taking advantage of it as it offers a wide variety of safety measures. Avira has been popular for many years and now became my product of choice.

Cons

It is sometime a bit too persistent with the way it advertise it, and The basic version only offers so much. I would suggest upgrading for the best function you can get.

The way it works quietly but efficiently in the background impresses me.

Pros

The web security and protection is very good. It also works quietly in the background. No unnecessary pop-ups or intrusions while i'm working. It is also very simple to install and use.

The performance scanner. I guess it could be faster. In any case, it's ok

July 19, 2024

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.
