Avira 2018 with new UI launched

[spaceoctopus]

I think so, here is the correct link that the spaceoctopus tried to post: Avira Answers
by the answer, it seems to be something like a BB.

Thnx for that @Faybert sorry again for the bad link guys.

So, they only included behavior blocker in the Pro version again. Sigh. Seems avast! is the only AV that also gives behavior blocker (Behavior Shield) to FREE users.

No, it is in the free version too.

Bitdefender free has a behavior blocker (ATC) too

COMODO have Viruscope. Not only avast has behavior blocker in free version brother.

 

[HunterKhajiit]

Yes this new BB is in free version also
i hope to see test about it

Thanks and have nice day

 

[Faybert]

Maybe I'll do some testing with him soon.

I've just tried it and it's the weirdest bit of software I've tried in last couple of years. They literally sticked a new interface on top of old one. And I don't know where you guys get the fancy new popups and stuff. For me, only thing new was main interface. Detection popups are still the old ones from 5 years ago and so are the settings which are still the old ones entirely. I thought it was more updated and yet I have most of the stuff from old versions. Even Luke Filewalker which I thought was gone already. What gives?

I have the same opinion, I tested it today, it's very bizarre, you click to configure and open the old interface, so with other options, horrible experience.

 

[RejZoR]

On a laptop, when I opened the interface it tried to open new and old one at once and then the new one crapped out with some error and old one appeared and freezed. After restart it got fixed, but maaan, I thought avast! had broken new interface, AVIRA wins it all. While direction they are going is better, it's nowhere near even early BETA phase, let alone production release. And they needed like what, 5 years to reach this? I know protection is top priority, but man, this is ridiculous.

I also wonder if Sensors Detection even does anything yet... anyone tried it out yet against malware?

Apparently avira doesn't have someone who knows how to redesign it, I don't like it's model.
for me the most beautiful Gui on the popular AV is eset v10, but the number 1 making textures are: the team iobit. Nobody wins them.

As of new BETA build: 15.0.35.50

@Faybert @RejZoR It's not in stable version yet. But yeah, many UI elements are not themed and are still from old Avira. I agree as well that they released new UI for public too early, imo it's not done yet and should still be in BETA.

Yes I know it is the Beta version, but both the Beta version and the stable are confusing, as I mentioned, you click to configure in the new interface and the old one appears, and vice versa, it is something bizarre

Maybe they will leave it like that, don't know. There are better free alternative AV's to use for now, that's for sure, unless they go big with it's Sensor Detection.

 

[Antimalware18]

I'd consider using this again but I would first like to see the GUI fixed.

a more proactive cloud (not only on-execution)

and some form of light BB possibly. what is this "sensor detection"?

This new features seems like very new and unknown to us because we haven't seen any tests that proofing its functioning, so i hope this is not all lie by avira to make users more peace of mind and use that as their own advantages

The old UI will vanish step by step after the next product updates

Thanks for the refreshing new look. I'm sure you'd regain your lost customers and admire new ones if you re-designed the UI. All antiviruses does their job pretty well, so UI could be a good differentiating factor for them.

At the same time incorporating the behavioural shield in the free version could help it to be an amazing competitor to Avast & BitDefender & now Kaspersky, because Avira already has outstanding signature detection! If that's the case then I can assure you that more customers will switch from competitor apps to Avira.

Also try to reduce the bloatware in free version. I have not used Avira for over a year and don't know how much have changed over a year, so correct me if I'm wrong on the points below,
Avira launcher is unnecessary, it just uses unnecessary resources. I disabled the launcher from starting up, performance was noticeably better, Avira's protection and the main GUI would still start up and no reduction in protection. I know you have to earn money too but do it in a more user friendlier way and without badly slowing down computers.
Luke Filewalker popping out is annoying. Why not scan it quietly on background without popups?
I may be wrong on this but I believe there was no way to disable a scheduled scan on free version(either per 1 day or 2 day). I personally don't like scheduled scans. Waste of resources. I prefer to scan once in a while manually.

Great, waiting for new, more frequent BETA builds to test.
