[QUOTE="Arequire, post: 610635, member: 59283"] I wouldn't doubt they have a anti-ransomware module but I'm betting it's just not very effective. Never seen any kind of behavioural detection by Avira though. According to them it's the same cloud scanning for both free and paid versions. As far as I'm aware it's just their own technology powering their cloud analysis. Never seen or heard any mentions of multiple engines. Regardless, even if it does have all this technology built in it doesn't really matter if Avira doesn't do a good job at protecting its consumers. It's signatures are obviously good and its cloud scanning is decent but the fact that its mechanistic protections are almost non-existent stops me from recommending it. [/QUOTE]
