Avira Antivirus Pro Review Plus And The

Avira doesnt track or sell your browsing data to third-parties, including governments or law enforcement.

So I wanted to see if its premium protection was actually worth the money (even given its latest discount ) and if it would be powerful enough to fully protect all of my devices and data from all kinds of internet threats.

I was especially curious about these features Ive tested a lot of different antiviruses and internet security products, and most brands offer a huge range of features which are difficult to use and perform really poorly.

But Aviras did not disappoint they were all easy to use and provided lots of added value to the overall security of the product.

Overall, Aviras anti-malware engine performed extremely well, blocking and removing 100 of my test malware, including all viruses, spyware, and ransomware.

In under a few minutes, it found 17 privacy settings that could be compromising my data security, including location sharing and app permissions giving apps unnecessary access to all of my data.

It also found almost 1 GB of data to clean, 4 outdated apps needing updates, and 3 apps which were slowing down my computers startup.

But my tests proved the claims true Avira is definitely one of the most advanced and fastest virus scanning engines out there.

This is one of the things which makes Aviras scanning engine so powerful, as the Protection Cloud is constantly updated.

Other antiviruses, like Panda Dome, also include a cloud-based scanner, but its not integrated into the real-time scanner meaning Panda requires running a separate cloud-based scan.

Avira Antivirus Pro Review Plus And The

The fact that Avira integrates cloud scanning into its real-time protection is a huge plus and the reason why Id consider it to be one of the best antiviruses scanners available.

It detected all of the malware samples I used to test it including all viruses, ransomware, and spyware.

I disabled my Microsoft Edge and Google Chrome web protection settings to make sure only Aviras web protection was active.

Even phishing sites impersonating well-known sites like Facebook, LinkedIn, and Amazon werent blocked.

While I liked the Safe Shopping browser extension, I would be happier if Aviras integrated web protection actually protected me from malicious sites like how Nortons web protection does without the need for an extension.

Compared to Nortons junk file scanner, it was twice as fast Avira found over 1.3 GB of junk files clogging up my hard drive.

It also flagged certain files and folders that I may have wanted to keep, allowing me to choose whether or not I wanted to delete them.

The Standard option did indeed speed up my start time by a few seconds, but the Hyper boost option was so in-depth that it sped up my boot time by several minutes.

That said, this process took a while, as it required my PC to restart 5 times.

This is why I recommend you only use the Hyper boost option every 3 months or so.

All of the features were easy to use and sped up the performance of my PC better than many other antiviruses, such as PC Protect and Panda.

But Aviras VPN did offer some decent features and ensured my connection was always private.
