Will they ever change the interface? lol

Any idea why Avira discontinued those features especially the firewall?

 

[Ink]

Windows Firewall is a good firewall, why replace something that's already an integral part of the OS and something that works very well. That's all I'm saying, I think there was something in the Non-Disclosure Agreement about confidentially. Anyway, got my Invite today.

No real improvements where made to this beta. *That i can see* which is kinda disappointing this is less what avg 2014 gave us.
