![]() Overall, if you can live with Avira Free's limits or use Prime's VPN, these look like the pick of the range. It's far from the best VPN we've seen ( check out our full review here) but it covers the basics, and is worth $78 all on its own. That gets you everything in Internet Security, plus premium Android and iOS apps, Avira's hugely powerful PC speedup suite, and, crucially, unlimited use of Avira's Phantom VPN Pro. As with Antivirus Pro, there's no opening discount, and it looks a little overpriced for the feature you're getting.Īvira Prime offers the best value in the range, with its annual five-device license costing $100. It's priced from $58 for a one-year, one-device license, or $71 to cover three devices. (Bitdefender Antivirus Plus 2020 is $30 for year one, but $60 on renewal.)Īvira Internet Security adds automatic detection and updating for missing security patches, and Avira's own password manager. There's better value as you extend your subscription, so for instance a three device, one-year license is a reasonable $58. ![]() Pricing looks a fraction high at $45 for a one device, one-year license, but that's mostly because there's no introductory discount. Upgrading to Avira Antivirus Pro gets you scanning of downloads, torrents and cloud storage, an extra layer of ransomware protection, system-wide URL filtering and 'Premium' custom support. You can sign up for Avira's antivirus solutions hereĪvira Antivirus Pro subscription options:.The free version of the VPN, for example, limits you to a near useless 500MB a month, barely enough to run a single online speed test. ![]() Some of the extras aren't as impressive as they sound, either. While the free product has a great antivirus engine, significant limitations include no scanning of downloads or email attachments, URL filtering via browser extensions only, and no customer support beyond what you can find on the website. If you are happy with the service they provide, then they allow you to upgrade your account so that you may block infected sites and better secure your browser when you are dealing with sensitive information.Be sure to check the small print, though. The software will not work as well if it does not have Internet access, but one assumes you have Internet protection if you are looking for virus and malware protection. The fact the software is fast and efficient is just an added benefit. It protects your anonymity by helping to remove spyware, and by giving you a free amount of VPN service every month. Protection from viruses and malware comes from their browser protection tools and from the ability to scan your computer for malicious content. Free protection and anonymityĪvira Free Antivirus gives you both protection from viruses and malware, and it protects your privacy too. The software optimizes itself, which means there is very little tinkering required after installation. The interface also has options for installing VPN tools and the Scout Browser. On the user interface, you will see the options for installing the “Speed Up” tools, which removes files that may slow your computer down, and allows you to lower the number of active processes that are running and that are potentially slowing your computer down. Move down, and you may set new browser settings and protective protocols to help make your web surfing a little safer. ![]() If you wish to run a scan, then click on the “Quick Scan” or “Deep Scan” to pick the type of scan you desire. If you are new to this type of technology, then it is okay because the interface offers you very basic choices. If you have used anti-virus software in the past, then the Avira user interface will appear very intuitive. A simple and self-explanatory user interface
