Do you recommend me to select all threat categories or not? If yes, which ones?

Thanks :)

Do you want to be protected against all those threats?

If yes, Select All > Apply and OK.

If no, Select only the ones you need.

Its highly recommended to check all in Threat Categories so to make sure nothing will be missed.

I have them all selected. Don't want anything getting through.

I'd select them all to keep you covered from any malicious files that Avira recognizes.

All too, imagine your doctor asking you if i want a medicine for all diseases or just the most dangerous ones? what will you answer?

Default is just fine. Selecting them all will increase your chances of a false positive. And we all know Avira has a high false positive rate as it is.
