[QUOTE="McMcbrad, post: 916037, member: 89360"] I have just installed Avira for a quick Protection Cloud test and in less than a minute I've noticed several things: [LIST] [*]Interface is a bad and unsuccessful copy of AVG/Avast (more AVG). Even installation is the same. It starts with a large window and then gets minimised to a small tray pop-up. [/LIST] [ATTACH type="full" width="207px" alt="1606570595800.png"]249908[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full" width="197px" alt="1606570644029.png"]249909[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full" width="244px" alt="1606571787832.png"]249915[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full" width="207px" alt="1606570709339.png"]249910[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full" width="217px" alt="1606570756955.png"]249911[/ATTACH] These are the things that I am able to capture, but the whole experience and in-product language is the same as what Avast uses for AVG. [LIST] [*]It asks you to buy more and more stuff (again, Avast way). [*]It installed Opera Browser, without even asking (very bad impression) [*]It's still using 32-bit architecture like Panda [*]It installs various components with no consistency between their UX: each one of them looks different than the rest. [*]It installs an extension that blocks malicious sites, but I am asked to pay for Web Protection...?

Upon clicking on "X", yet another type of user experience comes up: [ATTACH type="full" width="239px" alt="1606572520998.png"]249917[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full" width="154px" alt="1606572615258.png"]249921[/ATTACH] It already missed 1 threat, out of 3 I downloaded: [URL='https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/fb401a12f6101d1289502d89e560b0ebfd80866cc057ba7ad20006fe942c53e5/detection']VirusTotal[/URL] [ATTACH type="full" alt="1606572937593.png"]249922[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
