Avira Antivirus Pro: is it really the best?

Advanced Real Time Protection

It seems redundant to even mention it because a good protection is what everybody would expect from an Antivirus. Take a closer look at our product and you will notice that Protection is where Avira Antivirus Pro really excels. Fortunately, it’s not only us who say so, industry experts agree: we are scoring some of the highest results on a regular basis in the AV-Comparatives, AV-TEST and VB100 testings. We owe every success to our cutting-edge antivirus technology, including the Avira Protection Cloud. This little gem strengthens the protection, helps with detection, and makes it almost impossible for cybercriminals to bypass our defenses.

Ever wondered how the Avira Protection Cloud works?

Faster and Safer

Avira Protection Cloud is not the only cool thing that makes Avira Antivirus Pro shine among all other security programs. With new digital threats emerging all the time, an antivirus has to be fully up-to-date. It is exactly why the information about malicious software required for detection is saved by Avira in V(irus)D(efinition)F(iles) files. With one of our latest upgrades those files received, they were enhanced to minimize the amount of data involved and to keep the updates small and therefor faster.

Easy to Use

All of the above might sound rather complicated, but let’s be honest: when you have to use an antivirus application you don’t want to go through pages of cryptic information, complex menus, and confusing instructions. Sure – the development and technology behind an antivirus can be complex but you, our user, should not be affected by it. That’s why our software comes with a clear and streamlined user interface designed with your comfort in mind.
