The new version 10 introduces ProActiv behavior scanning and automatic Generic Repair technology. There are a few features like a gamer mode and rollback functionality that we’d still like to see added, but overall Avira AntiVir Premium 10 is a good antivirus application.
Scope of Protection:
Avira’s antivirus software has you covered,
protecting from malware and its various forms (dialers, spyware,
rootkits, worms, adware, malicious scripts, etc.). The paid version
includes advanced protection from a number of online threats, including
phishing scams and drive-by downloads.
Avira AntiVir also has an integrated email scanner that checks for viruses and other malware in sent and received emails.
Effectiveness:
Avira has proven time and time again to be one of
the leaders when it comes to thorough and effective antivirus scanning.
Virus Bulletin not only approves Avira as completely capable of
protecting your PC from 100 percent of in-the-wild viruses, but also
found Avira AntiVir to be the most effective in their recent test.
AV Comparatives also found Avira AntiVir to be at the top of their
class in recent tests, catching 99.3% of the malware they threw at the
software (second only to the marginally higher 99.6% from G DATA). The
software has also improved on their false positive score, and was only
“tricked” with 11 false positives (files that Avira deemed malware that
in reality were not).
Ease of Installation:
Setting up the software is also simple, and will
have you up to date and running your first scans in no time. Version 10
features a new express installation method that will have you downloaded
and installed with just five clicks.
Avira isn’t just one of the most effective antivirus software, they
are also one of the most efficient. AV Comparatives’ test of scanning
speed clocked Avira AntiVir Premium at the high scanning rate of
17MB/second. Avira is a fairly resource-conscious antivirus software,
and shouldn’t result in any noticeable slowdown for most users
(especially if you schedule the deep scans to run when your computer is
not in use).
Ease of Use:
Avira’s antivirus software features a decent
interface with pretty simple, easy-to-use controls. Setting up scheduled
scans or customized scanning parameters is no problem. Avira is a good
antivirus program for beginners and experienced users alike. Previous
users won’t find much of a difference in the new interface, but it has
been slightly updated. The software does include a one-click fix button
anytime there is an issue that needs to be addressed.
Better than being easy to use, Avira doesn’t actually require you to
regularly “use” the program, but basically runs itself, keeping your
computer protected without you having to constantly update or monitor
the software.
Features:
Avira AntiVir Premium is filled with great features
that enhance security, performance, and convenience. One important
feature is that the scanner works in real-time. Avira scans all files as
they are accessed, in the split second before they are opened and have
the chance to infect your PC.
Another great feature is the ability to create a bootable rescue
disk. This often overlooked feature gives you the ability to burn a disc
that can be used in the event of an emergency. If your system crashes
and won’t restart properly, simply run the bootable rescue disk, which
preempts the OS and walks you through the process of cleaning the deeply
rooted malware so you can get back up and running.The software also incorporates advanced technology that protects from the constantly changing virus landscape. With the proactive AHeAD (Advanced Heuristic Analysis and Detection) technology, Avira dynamically analyzes files for particular characteristics or behavior that “give it away” as malware, and then neutralizes the threat before it has the chance to infect your computer. This proactive approach effectively stops viruses that traditional signature-based detection often misses.
The major new feature is the ProActive scanning and community network. AntiVir ProActiv is a behavior-based scanning technology that monitors your system’s behavior (as opposed to file behavior). Certain events may signify that your system is under attack, in which case the software can remedy the situation. The new community (also called ProActiv) takes advantage of the software’s strong user base to provide strength in numbers. If you choose to participate, anonymous data from your computer is collected by the company so they can provide better awareness and quick protection from new attacks.
Updates:
Avira knows that timely updates aren’t just
essential for security, but also efficient and less invasive. The
updates are small (don’t require a lot of resources) and regular (the
default is every 2 hours, but it can be set to as often as every 15
minutes). Proxy users will have no problem updating, and the updates can
even be specifically scheduled (just like virus scans).
Help & Support:
The online support for Avira is decent, but not
great. The support center features an in-depth FAQs section and
knowledgebase. You can also find additional support in the support
forum. Unfortunately, Avira doesn’t offer help through email or online
live chat, and there isn’t a U.S.-based phone number.
Summary:
Avira AntiVir Premium is one of the
best in the business, and has several compelling features that make it a
great choice for antivirus software. And while the software didn’t
offer some convenient features (like a silent gamer mode) that others
have, the effectiveness is second to none. We look forward to seeing
Avira work on adding new features, but can certainly recommend their
antivirus software.
