The existing features have been restructured for better usability (URL Category blocking, Time-Control and Social Network Protection). The alerts for URL and time control have been centralized.
- Integration of Social Network Security
New functionality has been integrated into the product named Social Network Security. The product offers a link to the SocialShield website which will open in the default browser. Functionality can be accessed there.
- Integration of Android Security
New functionality, Android Security, has been integrated as well into the product. The product offers a link to the Android website which will open in the default browser. Functionality can be accessed there. Multiple devices can be managed. Functionality includes Locate, Lock, Alert, & Message.
- Advanced Protection through Avira Protection Cloud (APC)
After each installation, and then once a week , there will be a Quick System Scan performed automatically where the Avira Protection Cloud is being used in order to improve the detection. The APC is going to be released only for the paid products. You can find the settings in Control Center -> General -> Advanced Security
- Integration of the Experts Market
Experts Market is a new entry in the Tray icon. A link is displayed with every reported detection through Realtime Protection as well as Web Protection. The user is linked to the Experts Market where different experts offer help to the customers’ problems.

Is this the Cloud AV that is in Beta?

Seems so since APC was mentioned in the first post.

I'm curious about the Social Network Security.

Good thing that APC is implemented but the downfall is it is for paid products. Many use Avira free. I think it benefits more for them.

I agree with you about APC.

They're surely focusing on child's protection.

Avira is mostly a feature limited free AV. It stands out only due to detection capacity. I am actually waiting for AVG 2013 final release. IT will give a tough competition to Avira.
