Thanks for sharing. Do you work for Avira?

 

[HarborFront]

Avira Security Suite + Avira Antivirus + Avira Scout Browser (all free) is a good combo

Hi, no I dont, I just like Avira as my first AV, and I have the pro version for my professional laptop.

 

[Wordward]

Any opinions on Avira 2017? Better, lighter, stable, any GUI changes? Thanks.

 

[Atlas147]

Just wondering about eh GUI too, they haven't changed that in a long time.

 

[duncan402]

Does this brand new version incorporate built-in web protection? Not the annoying avira browser plugin?

 

[Av Gurus]

They just bundle lots of crapware!!!
Here are some pictures:

thanks for the share @Av Gurus
it's well... with some questions regarding the Sanboxing, BB, HIPS, UI, Launcher and any other today's AV layers or features that a lot people are curious, still the new editions are not much changed, I'm curious what makes Avira so confident

 

[bunchuu]

good move avira, they bundled VPN and pc optimization feature in their antivirus

 

[Av Gurus]

This pc optimization is total crap!...and trial...
Run ONE time and show TRIAL EXPIRED!?!?

 

[HeroCloudAntivirus]

Great!

Already installed tho

Avira has very good heuristics but no BB.. I do not know if they improve a BB for Avira suites.
I am really wondering while they are saying "Next-Gen Security" ?

I left Avira when they mark some cryptolockers as "Clean".. I reported them again as "False Nagative"..but the result was same, they allowed it as "Safe"..at that day, I left Avira and sample submissions to Avira.

They have very good Browser extension which has great rate of malware and phishing page blocking.
I won't test Avira again. For novice users and as a standalone AV software, Avira is really good AV. But you should use Comodo Firewall beside or any other softwares which covers Avira's absence..

Avira is basically just a scan engine - which is nothing but a game of whack-a-mole - like all scan engines.

The addition of a VPN is a nice feature, but still...

I am interested to see the 22 people that voted no, the reason behind it.
