Avira Free

Avira Anti - Vir Personal is just a free protection suite for home users. Avira Anti - Vir Personal offers fundamental protection against viruses, worms, and Trojans, and additionally has fundamental anti spyware protection. Avira claims the program monitors all user actions on the system for greatest pro activeness. This can be essentially the same manner AVG handles support for the free antivirus suite. Avira is just available in four languages - English, German, Italian, and French. Avira is a 33MB download free from the company's web site. Eventually, the magician asks when to start the antivirus package. Avira has a straightforward yet drab and out-of-date looking interface.



The overview tab shown above shows the status of program elements including security, last scan and upgrade times, and license information. Avira uses colour coding for status, though it might be more accentuated. The Local Protection's Scanner screen shows the confusion screen in the right. It's functional, but not always intuitive. Avira automatically updates every twenty four hours like AVG. Unlike AVG the updates took an extraordinarily long time to complete, despite our 10 megabit connection we realized only several kilobytes per second downloading speed. Avira generally stayed out from the manner with one exception: the occasional pop-up advertisements for the paid version.



Since the application is free it's hard to complain about it, however AVG has a far less invasive way of doing so throughout the program interface. To test the usefulness of Avira I used many virus files from Eicar.org, an IT security site. Avira discovered one out of four upon downloading and found the others during a system scan. This is the same level of professional activeness we observed with AVG. Avira performs as predicted with no surprises. Prior to installing Avira the notebook had the numbers on the left. After installing Avira the standard was run again, creating the numbers on the right.



This is just on par with AVG and bests many paid solutions. Avira uses about 20MB of Memory, which is less than AVG. Time it took to execute a complete system scan. Avira took frothy five minutes to scan our test computer hard disk drive with 122GB of data, now this is a very affordable time and beats the scanning time of some paid solutions.
