Avira with more than 10 years Experience
Windows User
Avira is very good at preventing and recognizing malware attacks and provides several additional security features like a VPN and system vulnerability detection. When you try to visit a site that is known to be dangerous, Avira displays a warning message in the browser. Sometimes the site has links or downloads that have malware hidden on them. Other sites are phishing schemes that try to trick you into giving personal information to steal your identity. Avira recognizes both.

effective security for home
Android User
I liked the review, the Hungarian and the English one
it is a detailed one
I have used some AVs but Avira is the perfect one for me cuz of CPU usage and I use it every day
best free antivirus but I hated the ads so I bought Pro
I must recommend it for home security
I couldn't write much about cons..
its con is that it is less lightweight than the older versions
but in 2021 you must bring more features and services into the AV for your effective protection..
the password manager is an innovative thing maybe I will try in the future

Avira charged 2 times 1 product at my card and didn't got back my money. When you uncheck automated renew, they will charge you anyway, maybe TWO times like happened with me.

Very Good Antivirus
Windows User
It has protected me a lot and I never got a virus. For my personal choice, I think Avira is worth it Antivirus. Because I did some test on Virtual Machine and it detected many Viruses. I also watched some videos about Avira. So I recommend it. (sorry for bad grammar )

So Smart
Windows User
It is very good, especially when analyzing files, because it detected 2 hidden viruses. I don’t understand how this antivirus is so smart. Avira is the only antivirus that analyzes files that I know of.
