### "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

[Norton AntiVirus](https://www.capterra.com/p/648/Norton-Security/)[Trellix Endpoint Security](https://www.capterra.com/p/151734/McAfee-Endpoint-Security/)

Reason for choosing Avira Antivirus Pro

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

Functionality is vastly improved.

### "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.

### "Ho risolto tutti i miei problemi di performance e sicurezza del Mac"

December 1, 2023

5.0

Ho notato un notevole miglioramento delle prestazioni del mio Mac con una percepibile diminuzione dell'assorbimento delle risorse del sistema. Sono abituato a tenere alta la protezione web e tra l'altro non spengo mai il mio Mac che rimane ininterrottamente acceso giorno e notte.

Pros

Facilità di istallazione ed interfaccia molto intuitiva per automatizzare la scansione antivirus ed anti-malwares del proprio sistema Mac. Opzioni di protezione molto flessibili con un ottimo firewall manager e possibilità di attivare anche una VPN. Comodissimo il supporto clienti che è completamente gratuito via mail.

Cons

Tutto perfetto, sono soddisfatto dell'acquisto e non ho notato nessuna anomalia importante per l'uso professionale che ne faccio. L'estensione Avira Pro per il browser con Chrome a volte fa i capricci, ma io utilizzo quasi esclusivamente Firefox sul quale funziona egregiamente.

Switched from

[AVG Antivirus Business Edition](https://www.capterra.com/p/176245/AVG-Antivirus-Business-Edition/)

L'antivirus mi rallentava notevolmente l'operatività del Mac assorbendo molte risorse del sistema.
