Avira - free virus protection
As most other antivirus software, Avira comes in multiple packages, one of them offers free virus protection for home non-profit users, and this is the one we are going to discuss today.
Avira AntiVir Personal is an exceptional program for detecting viruses and other malware. Some studies (and users) indicate that this free virus protection program is even better in virus detection than some other non-free virus protection software.
However, there are reports that among threats there is also a number of alerts, that are not really viruses (so called »false positives«). Also the removing part of the Avira is not quite as good as virus detection.
Depending on your system, set up and options, there might be a slow-down of your computer when using the free Avira, but with uncheking some of the options this can be fixed.
Despite some negative points Avira AntiVir Personal is still a great free virus protection software and if you are looking for virus protection that doesn’t cost a dime you will not miss with it.
