Also a "log" area or a link in the main GUI to logs wouldn't be a bad idea. But it is most def. lighter and less buggy than previous versions
I can't say for effectiveness against Script malware as I am not a tester.
Finally... The next generation of Avira is available.

Today is a sad day.
Today we say goodbye to our deepest, long-lasting friend, Luke FileWalker.
Anybody who knew Luke, also knew how hard-working he was. How interested in always giving every inch of himself for those who trusted him.
Destiny has cut his wings, but he will fly higher than he did before. And oh how he will fly. Fly high as the moon, dear Luke, touch the stars and tell them stories... stories about how you fought evil here in Earth... stories about your journeys and self-growth you've had. For your time here has finished but a new life waits...
Let not anybody say Luke FIleWalker has died, for he is still alive, since legends never die... they're written down in eternity. And the best way to say goodbye... is not to say it at all. So let's greet our great friend Luke, just like that... without saying goodbye

All kidding aside, I tested it quickly.
Already, it installs much faster!
I didn't like the interface before, I still don't like it It looks too much like a PUP interface
On the other hand, I really like the alerts, they remind me of Avast!
But, there are 2 problems:
1) When its base does not know and must query its Cloud server, one must execute the file... WTF ? I know it did it before, but F-Secure detects it directly!
2) I didn't get an alert from Sentry. I threw a Magniber totally FUD, and the files were encrypted... Avira couldn't do anything...
And yes, no Luke.... RIP bro

Sentry can not block Magniber. In fact, most of BB have no ability to block Magniber.All kidding aside, I tested it quickly.

As far as I know, many behavior blockers, including Bitdefender's, Kaspersky's, Symantec's, and F-Secure's, cannot fully block Magniber ransomware. This kind of ransomware is very hard to block using behavioral detection.All kidding aside, I tested it quickly.

WV's BB used to be able to block Magniber ransomware, but it fails to do so when dealing with a new variant of it.

Symantec/Norton not tested, but Bitdefender I confirm, we saw it in the Hub with @silversurfer

Kaspersky missed this kind of Magniber ransomware (#Magniber msi 1X (2022-05-27-01) 第2页_病毒样本 分享&分析区_安全区 卡饭论坛 - 互助分享 - 大气谦和!) The tester used KART to test, basically, it is the BB compound of Kaspersky.I had already seen the BB of Kaspersky blocked Magniber

Sorry, the above tests were conducted by Chinese testers so the results are in Chinese.

BD Free was too late to block fully, probably it was behavioral monitoring... Sample #Magniber has fast encryption (9 files in this case), my bait files are on common location "Documents" but even affected a few files on Desktop and in my tools folder:

It does not appear in the program settings, but the task manager shows that it is acting

Thank goodness Luke is gone, I hated that thing popping up after EVERY detection.
