### "Good product to consider"

July 19, 2024

5.0

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"

Pros

lo que mas me gustó es que ofrece una amplia gama de herramientas adicionales, como un administrador de contraseñas, un optimizador de rendimiento y una función de eliminación de archivos segura.

Cons

tal vez lo minimalista de interfaz, que puede ser una contra para algunos y un punto fuerte para otros

### "Great All Inclusive package."

August 11, 2022

5.0

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.

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

November 8, 2022

5.0

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.

### "Antivirus nella media?"

September 23, 2023

3.0

Utilizzo per scaricare file online da diversi siti senza paura di ritrovarmi qualche virus il giorno dopo!

Pros

Sicuramente Avira non è un antivirus scarso o di pessima qualità, anzi parliamo di alta/media qualità, tutto fatto molto bene, sicurezza avanzata, nessun rischio di perdita di dati, nessun rischio di virus e cancellazione immediata file sospetti e dannosi, scannerizzazione veloce e sicura, nessun problema per quanto riguarda la sicurezza, consiglio a chi scarica molti file su diversi siti di cui non ne conosce la provenienza e la sicurezza.

Cons

Essendo un programma di buona qualità, come tutti, ha un suo costo che ovviamente può variare dall'abbonamento scelto, personalmente non lo trovo per niente economico ma neanche troppo costoso, un po' più alto della media, un'altra cosa che mi da fastidio è il fatto che abbia lo stesso modo di presentarsi di qualsiasi altro antivirus, stessa interfaccia, stesse funzioni, sembra quasi uguale ad un normale antivirus gratuito anche se non lo è.

### "Avira Antivirus"

April 15, 2022

4.0

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.

### "is Avira the best antivirus 2022?"

November 30, 2022

5.0

overall experience I would say that Avira is a great antivirus with a cheap price .

Pros

Avira is really known antivirus for a long time, I'm using it for my computer security, and it has a really great impact on your computer, your data will be always safe from trojans and bad files, and there are a lot of features like web protections, mails protections, and there is also real-time protection so you will be on touch if anything strange is happening on your device, there is a free VPN included which is a good thing that you will need for your privacy.The thing that I liked more is the prices. The prices are very low I'm not gonna lie. you can try the free version if you want but I would really recommend you get a membership.the software interface looks easy to use, and it's not going to take your PC performance.

Cons

the software is great, I haven't seen something wrong.

### "Avira Antivirus Pro - Avis"

January 7, 2023

5.0

Pros

Le logiciel détecte vraiment bien les virus. Il peut détecter les applications qui doivent être mis à jour. Deux possibilités, le faire automatiquement ou manuellement. Je préfère le faire manuellement personnellement.

Cons

L'antivirus est assez lourd par rapport à ses concurrents, ce qui a pour tendance de lancer des processus en arrière plan et de faire ralentir l'ordinateur.

### "good"

May 9, 2021

5.0

The best antivirus software

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

The inability of the program to protect the device from newly established malicious websites whose goal is to steal private data. The program sometimes sends false alarms to the user and alerts him to the presence of a virus or malicious program, as the program users considered it a high protection force and others were annoying alerts.

### "There Are Better Options"

April 22, 2021

2.0

Avira works as it should. Unfortunately, the Pro version doesn't offer much besides removing the annoyance of getting popups to get you to upgrade from the Free version. It's true that Avira has a long list of features, but most of them feels like padding to justify the upgrade. Turning them on just because you have them causes Avira to use up much more processing power, nullifying the benefit of being a lightweight antivirus. And for the asking price, you might be better off with a different antivirus that has features that you actually need that has a higher protection rating (Avira appears to have been slipping a little over the past year, but is still generally good at identifying and catching threats). However, if you're looking for a simple and lightweight antivirus, Avira Pro should definitely be considered.

Pros

The antivirus itself is pretty lightweight which is always a huge plus for any software that is constantly running in the background.

Cons

The biggest problem with Avira Pro is the fact that the free version gets you pretty much the same thing. However, the Free version is constantly annoying you with popups to get you to upgrade to Pro. Most of the additional features are also locked behind Pro, but they are unnecessary features for me.

### "Smoothest Antivirus Software I've ever seen"

May 23, 2022

5.0

Pros

The product is super easy to use and it doesn't make your pc running slow like many other alternatives in the market. The background process is very smooth and it did recognise a malware we had problems with that some other antivirus programs couldn't identify.

Cons

The first year subscription is at a very good price, it jumps up a fair bit after the first year; however, it's still reasonably priced.
