No protection against ransomware in Avia Prime, even though Avira claims "Ransomware Protection is on." Since October 2020 I am experiencing ransomware attacks, and as of April 2021, Avira is still not realizing that their software has a problem. Avira Support Team's response is limited to computer-generated correspondence and sometimes wrong advice. I have seen other Avira customers on Facebook complaining about ransomware attacks. I started looking around for better antivirus programs.
Very Sad.

Very Sad I paid and the the software does not open and very difficult to get help. I will have to change the virus protection Software
Avira is SCAM

I used Free Avira for years and everything was fine but lately, it just doesn't work. Real-time protection is always disabled and when I click on fix issues it always takes ages and doesn't show anything. I tried to reinstall Avira 4 times over the course of a few months on my new laptop, but no longer. I am going to use Windows Defender now. Any idea why this might be? Can I have a virus that disables Avira? When I try to uninstall it, it says that Avira Antivirus is using it but I cannot uninstall that one either. I deleted all the Avira files from the computer but Avira made sure that it will remain on my laptop forever I guess :D
Credit charges

Avira is terrible they rob you behind your back using your credit card number to process automated payments leaving your bank account negative. Never again! It’s a scan EFJ
Horrible antivirus

It did not solve the problem. My browser is hacked by ads, and nothing works.
