App Review Avira Pro 2017 - Review

It is advised to take all reviews with a grain of salt. In extreme cases some reviews use dramatization for entertainment purposes.

Downloading isnt à problem. Its à bit heavy when found à malicious file.

Check AntiVir WebGuard WFP service process when you are downloading something. You can see how much spike you get in CPU (30-70%) when using my full bandwidth.

Google Chrome and using an external download manager EagleGet. Am not talking about slow-downs, my system has enough RAM, check the processor usage of AntiVir WebGuard WFP service when you are downloading.

I know you love avira but according to what I tested, Avira web guard used a significant amount of resource (up to 25% of CPU) during the test especially when I executed javascript files and they downloaded they payloads. It's not light unfortunately

otherwise, it seems OK. Web guard is the problem

it also froze the system during updates and system scan right after blocking 1 item
It's not the lightest AV I have ever tested
