A lightweight antivirus, but totally effective.

Where to start? ... I have used Avira Antivirus on my personal laptop for about four or five years. I started using it because at that time I used another antivirus and its operation was not the most optimal since every so often I infected my laptop with viruses, trojans or spyware ... (I know that much of that is my fault because at that time I was downloading programs from any site and I was not careful). Due to these constant infections, I decided to look in the forums for some recommendations for antivirus and in a casual way (after using several different antiviruses), I reached Avira Antivirus. The truth is that my decision to stay with Avira Antivirus has not disappointed me. From that moment, I do not remember having any new infections. It works much better than my previous antivirus because whenever it is faced with a malicious file, it warns me and gives me the option of ignoring or deleting the file, which is great.
- In my case, it detects the vast majority of malicious files. It also gives you the option to choose what to do with them (delete or ignore).
- It uses few resources, so it can be installed on almost any computer.
- It has constant updates, so make sure you have the latest patch to prevent infections of new malicious elements.
- It is multiplatform, so you can use it on different devices. I have used it both on Windows and Android.
- Sometimes the antivirus takes time to start once the laptop is turned on, which makes me wonder if it is working correctly or not.
- I have read about several problems regarding uninstalling Avira Antivirus from Windows, which sounds like it can be quite tedious.
- I have also read that, unfortunately, for being a light antivirus, it cannot properly handle the most dangerous viruses and trojans on the web, but luckily, so far I have not had any problems. In addition, a large number of infections are due to the browsing and downloading habits of users.
- as a positive impact I can point out that since I use Avira I have not had to format my laptop again due to infections that delete files or that hijack data (like the police virus, for which I lost a lot of information accumulated over years).
- In addition I have not had to renew my laptop in search of one with higher features to install a good antivurus, and comment before, Avira to use few resources can be installed on almost any computer.
A few years ago when I started my search for the right antivirus, I used AVG, and I must say that it is quite good. It works impeccably, its analysis process is quite fast, its update system is the same as that of Avira, its technical support is quick to respond, among other good things that are practically the same as Avira Antivirus. But finally what made me decide with Avira, was its lower use of resources. I can continue using my laptop without any problems with freezing while I analyze my hard drive. With AVG, that action was not always possible.

Protect your PC
I starting using Avira Antivirus two years ago or maybe a little more, and for almost a year, I recommend it to my colleagues and even my relatives. I came across Avira almost by chance, after having a virus problem in an old computer, in which I used another well-known antivirus. That unfortunately did not prevent the infection or help me clean my computer of the virus that I found, and it encrypted a lot of my files on my hard drive.
After this happened, I went to different forums looking for information about good antivirus to switch to, and everywhere said that Avira had two things that I needed; Pretty effective as antivirus, and low resource use. So I decided to try it, and from there we have not separated, and it has always worked very well. With proper care I have not had serious problems of infection by viruses or other malicious software.
- Low impact on the use of laptop resources, which is beneficial if you use old laptops or desktops, low-end computers, or do not want an antivirus that consumes an enormous amount of resources.
- Its update process is quite fast and silent, so it does not bother at all. Extra point is that I do not consume as much memory when using it, so you do not have to worry because the pc freezes.
- Your level of protection and security is quite high and adequate when you have a low-risk use of the PC (office, games, programs, navigation by pages or known forums, and others)
- Its level of protection in real time could be better when dealing with multiple threats. For example, it does not adequately block files that are auto-downloaded without the user's permission.
- I have not had serious infections due to viruses or Trojans. In addition, every time a malicious code is downloaded, Avira detects it and blocks it fast enough. So, I have not had to re-format my PC, I have not lost documents that I had stored on disk C, and of course, I have not lost time trying to recover the data from my PC.
- I've also been able to install it on not-so-powerful PCs, so its users have been able to continue using their computers without any problem and also avoid serious infections.
I have used these two and others, but compared to ESET, I think that Avira has a better performance and offers greater protection against viruses and malicious software. Compared to Kaspersky, Avira is not at the same level of analysis and protection, and Kaspersky is much better, but nevertheless, Avira occupies much less resources than the other antivirus, so it can be used by a larger number of users that do not have such a powerful computer.

The best antivirus in my opinion (without a doubt)!
I use Avira Antivirus on my personal computer. With its updated version for 2018, Avira Antivirus maintains the same effectiveness as always against malware, but also, thanks to its improved protection technology in the cloud, it gains speed in detecting threats and vulnerabilities that can endanger the security of any PC or Mac. All this, with a minimum percentage of false alarms. To deal with the most frequent problems of identity theft, Avira Antivirus has several tools that serve both to protect against attacks by hackers, as well as to make purchases and banking operations on the Internet in a secure manner.
In addition to its protective shield against malware (also adware and spyware) when we surf the Internet, and the analysis of programs and documents on our hard drive, Avira Antivirus provides useful add-ons to malicious codes, such as Email Protection, which analyzes incoming e-mails in search of infected attachments and links; a special system that repairs the damages that some virus, Trojan... can produce; or the so-called Self-defense, a reinforcement that prevents malicious software from altering or disabling antivirus protection.

- It detects adware (sometimes you just need some ease of advertisement) and phishing.
- It has Webguard, that allows us to block access to malicious websites.
- It scans email (POP3 and SMTP), an everyday tool I personally use.
- It has Bootable RescueCD, wich helps to remove malware and system recoveries.
- It has a very high detection rate and a very fast scanning engine.
- It has a tendency to detect many false positives.
- It has a very basic backup module.
- Its interface is not much attractive.
- It allows to create groups of computers and delegate antivirus policies to each group.
- It allows generating a report of found viruses.
- You can download updates via the Internet and send them to customers, improving the efficiency of your network.
- It provides an antispam module that serves to protect servers against unwanted mail.
Its main rival in the antivirus market is Avast, and despite this in recent tests, the latter proved to be a bit inferior to the Avira Antivirus in some aspects such as heuristics, resource consumption and a high detection capacity of rootkits and trojans.

Great protection for your laptop / computer
Avira Antivirus was used by me and by some people I worked with (4 out of 7 of us use Avira). We used it because of the good experience we had when detecting malicious files inside a .rar file, as well as when blocking access to pages that could contain a virus, be a scam or contain some phishing method. Also, if at some point a strange element was missed, then it allowed blocking the connection or the use of some suspicious file.
- Detects the vast majority of malicious files that you can download from the web
- The in-depth analysis system is very thorough
- Starts quickly in the system
- Its "system speedup" does not produce as much improvement or changes as other programs that perform similar functions.
- I think I should have some system to erase invalid keys and records that are easy to use as a CCleaner
- It had a very good impact because the protection it provides is high which decreases the infection rates of the computers, and with this, the PCs can be in constant operation and should not be sent to a technical service and should not be restored so often avoiding the potential loss of documents and files
ESET and Avast are quite good, but Avira gives me more security because I have had fewer errors in file analysis, and I have detected several files that have tried to download without my authorization.
