Avira, one of the most traditional ways for your cybernetic safety!
Avira Antivirus Server provides a good and reliable way of getting protected from virus and other similar malwares. Avira is traditionally connected to the Avira Rescue CD utilization, so it might be a little bit confusing for domestic users on how to use such feature properly. I can say from experience that Avira provides a good protection when I had used only the free software to execute a routinely scan every month in my computer and remove any malicious threat. This software is one that I feel enough confidence to use again in my computer due to the consistent results and efficience for personal computer data.
Pros
Reliable to use and provides what promises.
Cons
It is a little bit confusing and hard to use for people that do not use personal computers that often.
Reasons for Switching to Avira Antivirus for Small Business
It was a free trial of AVG and I was in need of trying a new software for my personal security.

Great security and antivirus software
It is easy and simple, the common user does not need more than this security software.
Pros
It is a light and robust application at the same time, simple and easy to use. It does not consume the processor like other applications I have used.
Cons
Since you are infected, sometimes it does not clean the virus and it is best to format the computer.

Avira Antivirus a good choice
In general, it is good and useful antivirus software. I use it now privately and in business over 10 years . Especially going into Asia there are so many virus emails Avira always detected all of them.
Pros
It easy detects viruses and it updates frequently. I like that it does not occupy all of my memory on the computer. Even the free version is really good. But I always upgrade as the price is ok and not too expensive good value.
Cons
I do not like the inbuilt VPN. It would be ok if it would be a good quality VPN but it is so slow that sites take ages to open especially when you travel. The auto-update function from files on your computer counteracts with Microsoft updates.
Reasons for Choosing Avira Antivirus for Small Business
Because I use it on my private computer for over 10 years and I am very happy with the quality and service. There is always room for improvement.
Reasons for Switching to Avira Antivirus for Small Business
Because it does not do the job for me when travelling. My computer had every time another bug because of not detecting the virus.

Good protection for a small organization
Good app for a small organization who does not require high security.
Pros
Easy to Configure and use. Database updates is frequent and very good. Less memory consumption and scans fast. Catches malicious traffic on the endpoint's network ports. Protection works well in offline mode or without updates. Value for money.
Cons
Zero day attack protection could be improved by using some AI based detection of malicious activity both on the network and while monitoring files, to prevent ransomware damage. Gets incompatible if with other security applications.

Sound like a signature scanner...
Pros
The feature list is good, the UI is clean, the product seems legit.
Cons
All features are so basic that you can't really use it. The firewall is only a Windows Firewall Configurator. The SPAM filter only scan non-encrypted IMAP/POP traffic, no Outlook integration to scan your GMail. Bad virus detection in my case.

Extremely difficult to remove
Subscribed to another Antivirus program that was better rated and less expensive than Avira so I tried to remove it from 3 computers. Unfortunately it was a horrible experience. As soon as I would let my very trusted software removal program delete Avira, it would automatically reinstall itself. I had to remove and shut down my computers at least 3 times before my uninstaller program finally somehow removed all traces of Avira. The next day, I get an email from Avira offering a 20% discount to reinstall the program. Never again will I go through this aggravation
Pros
It works well and have used it for many years. The program is easy to use and is quite comprehensive.
Cons
Extremely difficult to remove the program from any computer once it's installed. I used a very well known and very reliable program that uninstalls just about any software (including those of dominant software developers), but the Avira program just kept reinstalling itself over and over again after the uninstalls.

Resolute options for any small business
Pros
I chose Avira for my small business after reading the reviews posted online and on this very site, Software Advice, and I could not be happier with my decision. I feel confident in the security of my files and sensitive client information with Avira and all of its tools at my disposal. I could not ask for a better value or service in today's era of for cyber security.
Cons
The only con I have for Avira Business Security Suite is the customer support system. I had an issue setting up the program on one of our workstations and it took over a half an hour to get someone on the phone who could actually help me.

Protect your PC with Avira
In my experience Avira is the best antivirus software for any kind of threats. It is really simple and updates come constantly.
Pros
Avira is my favorite antivirus software because it has very simple interface and high security level to my devices. It has an ability to identify many types of malwares and other threats, also We can use it both on Windows and Android devices. Avira does not take much more RAM, Because of that my laptop and smartphone run very smoothly.
Cons
Well, sometimes it takes much more time to run software when we turned on laptop, also it removes some programs as dangerous but really there are no any dangerous files, at that time we have to give permission manually to run those programs.

Good Quality and Effective Antivirus
Avira is free antivirus for everyone.
Pros
Good quality for a free antivirus which is very effective when it comes to protection and scanning or cleaning all the trash and cache.
Cons
Because the software is free, there is alot of ads that always popping and to be honest its annoying. But you can enjoy the perks of having a good quality and free antivirus.

Free, simple and objective
It is a very good antivirus. Free, fast, simple, it protects your computer well without compromising performance. I recommend!
Pros
One of the best free software options. It protects against viruses and any type of malware. This antivirus protects in real time and does a complete scan of the system. Suspicious files are quarantined.
Cons
So far everything is perfect with the free version I use. Excellent performance and the sweep running in the background does not worsen the computer's performance. My opinion is that the free version could have protection for email.
Reasons for Switching to Avira Antivirus for Small Business
I wanted to test an antivirus that would not slow my computer.

One of the Best Antivirus Products I've Used!
Always positive and to this day one of the ones I would recommend I would ask.
Pros
When I had used the Avira PRO software for my last laptop, it always kep everything organized when I wanted to look into what it covered, caught, or informed me of was always clear. I liked that. I always felt confident with it.
Cons
The closest thing to an issue was how much it costs, at least for me. It would be great to have it with the same coverage with a bit more affordability.
Reasons for Switching to Avira Antivirus for Small Business
Recommended at the time by the sales representative that applied it to a bundle with my laptop. It was affordable and highly recommended so I gave it a try.

Avira Antivirus is the Complete pack of all antivirus related security. It comes with antivirus, firewell and VPN too. The thing i like most is it's VPN which connects you to proxy server in seconds and unblock all the blocked site. Using it since college
Cons
The Ads popup. I hate even for purchased version they keep showing ads and you can't disable it. That's why I switched to norton later

My experience has not been entirely pleasant with the program.
High control of all your data.
Pros
the software is functional and has a good division of its functions with the different filters, the security against deactivation forsoza of the program is very good. I would recommend this program since the benefit is good for its cost.
Cons
I did not like the filter "avira protection in real time" because as a gamer I had problems with my games due to this filter, an example is the case of "dota 2" updates through "steam", the software is safe and recognized, in the same way every time I have an update or download of a game, all the incoming and outgoing connection goes through that filter that causes complications and a latency that I can not control properly with programs dedicated to connection control in an efficient way . As a gamer, I would not recommend this product.

It protects, but not all
Pros
I have been using avira for quite some time now, and I have installed it on several laptops (my own and friends') and it has always worked quite well. As advantages I can say that: 1.- Its installation process is quite simple. 2.- It can be installed in a mid-range computer without any problem since it usually does not use so many resources, except when it is being updated. 3.- Its analysis system is quite fast and it has always worked well for me to be able to clean pendrives, HH and my own laptop from dangerous elements. 4.- Avira gives you control over your system allowing you to enable or disable some extra functions that allow you to provide a higher level of protection (safe shopping, home guard, vpn, password manager, among others) 5.- It has a help system to improve the speed and stability of the system 6.- It provides a vpn to be able to navigate in a safe way and avoid so that the sites track your data. 7.- And obviously you can enable the blocking function of pages potentially unsafe or harmful to the system.
Cons
although, I usually recommend avira, I always clarify something very important, and that is that the real-time detection system is somewhat deficient, so it does not always manage to recognize or block all the threats that swarm through the web and much less the threats that can be downloaded. If you are one of the users who browse all the sites and download a thousand things without knowing the real origin, maybe you should look for a much more powerful antivirus that detects everything and has an advanced heuristic function.

my daily protection to surf the web
Pros
Avira have several advantages: 1.- You can choose between a free version with enough functionality or a paid version with even more features than the free version. 2.- The installation is quick and easy to carry out. 3.- You do not need a pc with the latest components of the market to be able to use avira. Avira consumes few resources from your PC, both in the installation, update process, analysis process and in real time protection. 4.- In my case, avira works very well. It allows me to detect suspicious files in downloaded items from the web, and also detects possible risks or attempts of infection when I surf the Internet through forums and some pages of movies.
Cons
Avira has some disadvantages: 1.- It is not as powerful as other antivirus, for example kaspersky. So it can present some problems of detection of malicious files, but if you browse the Internet carefully you should not have a bigger problem. 2.- I have read from users who have some problems when they have to uninstall the application, but so far I have not had any problems.

Stay safe from any threat at all times.
It is a very simple tool to install, with very good performance and that provides a very high level of protection, since when using Avira, it has not reused other antivirus, since it covers all my needs, and being a multiple platform, i can use it in all my devices, without any problem.
Pros
It is my favorite antivirus, I have used it for many years in a personal and professional way, it keeps me safe with the large number of layers of protection, it scans the device at all times, in addition to scanning the links or web pages in real time that I access, it does not need too many resources to fulfill its functions correctly, so it does not decrease the performance of my devices, it also has very accessible plans, its VPN has a very good connection speed and the button for free memory, works correctly, accelerates the system and prepares it for any task that is carried out later.
Cons
I know that all software can have some negative point, however I find it hard to think of something that Avira does not do correctly, or acceptable.

A good decision, to be protected.
Avira has kept me protected without causing discomfort for remove some time, being multiplatform allows me to install it on several devices, without problems of the loss of important files, instability in the system, or constant detection of false positives, nevertheless to surf the internet , saving passwords, is not the best option.
Pros
Avira has a large number of components and features, has a firewall, vpn, real-time scanning, etc. What I like the most, is that it is quite light, its updates are made quickly because they are not heavy, it also has a good performance, and does not decrease the performance of the computer, another reason why I like it Avira is because I do not have constant problems with false positives, or deleted important files, it is quite effective.
Cons
What I do not like about avira is that it comes in separate components, so you have to install each one independently, the software support is not very good, you need to improve the service and it is not the ideal antivirus to protect yourself while browsing the Internet, and the last thing is, the price could be a bit high.
