There is a workaround: Create a folder, Drag and drop the files you want to scan (upload to APC for analysis) into the folder and Create a new custom scan in Avira to scan that folder.

How's the browsing speed and CPU usage while browsing with HTTPS scanning? Is it heavy in this regard like Kasper or on the light side like ESET?

The performance impact is acceptable.

Can it block malicious connections made outside of the browser?The performance impact is acceptable.

Yes. I tested some scripts (trojan downloader) and it blocked malicious connections.

If possible for you and your free time allows... Please can you sharing a few screenshots of protection settings?
Still remains weak against malicious scripts, resulting in an badly infected machine with multiplie RAT's and an banking trojan, restarting resulted in an locked VM, saw no activity from Sentry aswell.

The new version of Avira promises to be good. I look forward to testing it.
I wonder if they finally introduced the Polish language. From the beginning they have a problem to implement it in the program. I don't know why.

Based on my test so far, Sentry is good at blocking and rolling back changes made by Trojan dropper.
This "add users" script is hard for BB to block, to be honest.
Problem was that Avira missed too much, there were 5 different startup items added, mostly JS and Windows Script Host items, and probably a lot more as it was only what Task Manager was showing, not to mention these were nasty pieces of malware, it may have detected some of these startup items if it werent for the new user, but it should have blocked them before they had the chance to add startup items, as if they had the chance to add startup items they probably already did their malicious actions, I manually ran these startup items, Avira didnt even react.

Maybe Sentry is still not good at script malware?
Possibly, but as Avira (supposedly) have AMSI intergration I would have expected it too catch almost all malware samples, but it missed 5 out of 10 scripts, what was more concerning was the fact all of these samples were already detected by most major AV companies, almost all of which included Defender.Maybe Sentry is still not good at script malware?

Sorry i reverted backup already. @Anthony Qian already posted those settings that are changeable, only the https scanning enabled/disabled + some archive scan settings, there is nothing to see really
It is the same version from january, when avira crypto was announced... for me its light antivirus with no much to change...but very buggy/ sloppy it already corrupted my war thunder files

Maybe the free version doesn't have HTTPS scanning?
@Anthony Qian Did you test free or paid version?

Doubt it. The signature engine seems to be the same as before.
