Avira
is offered as free antivirus software. The malware detection scores well above
the acceptable limits, scoring well above other free Antivirus products. The
browser level protection for the user is also good as other free antivirus
products. Some reviews speak of very good performance in blocking URL capable
of downloading malwares.
The
installer of Avira also installs a multipurpose toolbar. This toolbar is quite
useful in deciding the browser security levels. An indicator is provided to
show the risk level for the website that is being browsed in the form of green,
yellow and red indicating its risk levels. This is one good feature, because
the user can not only see the actual risk level of the website, the details of the
rating it assigns also displayed by clicking on them.
One
of the usefulness of this toolbar is it allows the users to block the sites
that gather information of your browsing habits. This is very convenient
because nowadays it is very common for social networks, advertisers and similar
sites do tracking activity for some benefits. Another good feature is the user
without logging in can Tweet, give a +1 on Google Plus or Like a page.
This
version requires careful installation procedure. I have read about some
difficulties experienced by the users. The difficulties range from lack of
keyboard access, to average malware removal although the detection was good.
