Avira Internet Security - New User Interface 2020

[CyberPanther]

Hi All,

I hope everyone is well.

I would like to share with you the new interface of Avira Internet Security User Interface.

Await your comments.

Let me guess, this is again on top of 15 years old foundations and as soon as you start opening submenus, you'll be seeing Windows XP era designed windows and dialogs. Uninstaller still consists of 55 separate installers that you have to remove one by one. And of course there will still be Luke Filewalker.

Did I get anything wrong?

Still pretty oldschool and doesn't look like an antivirus interface tbh but I like this color scheme.

ugly and useless ui and all of this garbage
Software updater,File shredder,Cleaner,Startup optimizer,Battery saver,Driver updater,Duplicate finder ...

To be fair, FREE version seems to have new interface too and I'll give it a try. Lets see if they removed all the garbage terrible design they had for years.

Ok, so they actually entirely redesigned the interface. Except settings and Luke Filewalker is still there in all its WindowsXP-esque glory. Also all the found "problems" that can't be permanently ignored afterwards are annoying. But it's a step in the right direction. Now stop screwing around AVIRA and transition settings and scanner to the same interface framework. It's been the same for at least 10 years and it looks horrible.

Looks like cheap version of AVG/AVAST

What kind of artist & graphist team antivirus vendors do even have? With their marketshare they could hire da vinci itself

 

[EndangeredPootis]

Looks like the UI of Totalav, pcprotect and scanguard, owned by the scammer group protected.net, which happens to have bought the avira engine, hmm.

Well strictly from an aesthetic point of view: there are five blocks in each sub-menu, leaving an open space for one more block. This would kind of bug me every time I have to look at it.

It's like your Start Menu in Windows, I simply have to fill the empty spaces with something, or re-configure the sizes, and/or re-size the general area.

It just looks unfinished to me. But the Dark Mode is not bad overall.

You will find many vendors include a lot of extra software and services in their top tier products. It's not only Avira.

I have 32GB of RAM, but holy crap, AVIRA Updater process is eating 450MB of RAM. That's rather insane.

Avira has been drifting since the launcher UI was adopted. I think Avira did not need to change the old text-based UI. I still like the umbrella icon only.

You nailed it, even when i installed it on my real windows 10, after few clicks it opens old white GUI top of the new dark one. that is just lazy lazy developing. that is my reason to stay away from avira now. maybe later!

looks like AVG at best

Do you have 32GB of RAM and are you worried about 450MB? I don't even want to imagine it so if you had an 8GB comb, would you call the police? RAM is to be used, not saved.

Await your comments.

Is this new interface just for Internet Security? In the Pro version it remains the same:

RAM is to be used, not saved

But it shows whether the product is well optimised or not, right?

Not necessarily, different vendors use different methods of memory management and where they load signatures. The actual system impact for normal usage is much more telling unless you are actually running out of memory.

When I tested Avira here I was unable to connect to the Internet, even after restarting Windows.

I uninstalling and Internet worked again.

I know, which is why I wrote "I have 32GB of RAM, but holy crap, AVIRA Updater process is...". I may have 32GB, but I doubt it's miraculously conservative when system has way less...

In most cases it is a good sign that the program has a lot of RAM, it will have a faster response and will use less processor, unlike some AVs that use little RAM and a lot of processing power, giving the user the illusion that the program it is light just because it uses little memory.
