Velmi dobrý antivirus. Byl jediný, který detekoval virus, zobrazující neustále reklamy. Analýza je pomalá, ale účinná.

Very good antivirus. It was the only one that detected a virus that opened ads to me constantly. The analysis is slow but efficient.

Avira did not find any viruses, but Norton tells that computer is infected with 5 viruses. Whom should I trust?

Horrible way to push all products in Antivirus
Windows User
So It not only uses all of resources but also installs spam softwares without uses permission also few browser extensions. They are problem now not the solution.

Makes your PC very slow.
Windows User
Make your PC very slow. Nearly impossible to uninstall. I might have to reinstall OS to get rid of this nuisance.

They ruined it. It Became bloatware. Who the hell ask them to put all they have in something that expected to be ONLY Antivirus program. They don't leave me the choice to opt-out things that I don't need or want, like VPN (I'm using a different one) or Game Booster (I'm not a gamer) and Optimizer (easy way to destroy your system). So I decided to say goodbye to them. Sorry.

Ignore Don't Work
Windows User
Avira ignore feature is a mess that doesn't really work. If you are IT developer you should really keep away from it.

Accused As A Cyber Theft Criminal
iOS User
Their Free Download Version Was Infected With PUP Malware That Forcefully Tries To Install Onto Your PC! Microsoft Had Blocked That One File Installation From Happening With Their Smart Screen Protection Filter!

Including, That “CBI Avira” Had Fraudulently Charged Me $100 For “Recurring Withdrawal” On 06/29/2021, But This Avira Company Had Quoted Within Email That They Did Not Have This Kind On Information On File! Now, I Am Asking For My Financial Assistance Group As To Resolve This One Financial Problem!
I Do Not Want Avira To Ding My Card Again!

What sort of response is that?
I had already told you what I had experienced and it was terrible.
I had to waste all of my time waiting on Avira’s Company as to cancel and close my subscription through email.

Why are we arguing? I had got that issue resolved. Cut me some slack.
