Avira Free Antivirus is an effective, free software that comprehensively protects the system against threats. The program offers on-demand scanner, real-time protection and firewall. The program is also able to protect the user against modern threats, such as ransomware, spyware and privacy-intrusive programs.

The program has a simple, easy-to-read interface, which allows you to quickly find out in which mode the program works, when the signature database was updated and when the last scan took place, and in the section dedicated to real time protection, you can also check what file was scanned recently. Subsequent operations can be planned in the schedule. In addition, you can easily view reports and decide what happens to files that have been quarantined.

The Avira engine protects against malware threats, including viruses, Trojans, worms and spyware. A novelty is the protection against ransomware and other known encryption programs. Avira Antivirus Free monitors all opened and saved data.

You can exclude some extensions from protection in the settings, if necessary. When a suspicious file is detected, the signature is sent to the cloud scanner, which compares the data with known threats and, on this basis, determines whether the file really poses a threat. Another advantage of Avira Free Antivirus is the low requirements.

The program can be used without major obstacles to protect older computers, whose work will not be disturbed by it. Free Avira Free Antivirus does not integrate with the mail client, but after activating file scanning during reading and writing, the information in the mailbox is checked anyway. First, Avira Connect is downloaded, which serves as a control center and takes care of updates to the manufacturer's programs and allows you to manage multiple devices in one place if you decide to create an account.
