Avira AntiVir Personal looks like to be the perfect selection for all those who are finding for a solution with decent performance and regular updates, just to be sure infections stay away from their precious data.
The developers over at Avira have always offered a well-organized GUI, and their latest antivirus solution makes no exception to this rule. Fortunately, although it's supposed to fight against viruses, the application comes with a handy user GUI that lets you configure it with ease.
Avira only offers a many settings, so professional users should have no matter to deal with them, although beginners should too find the whole application quite easy to use.
The installation process is not that comfortable though. If you have Windows Defender installed, Avira advises you to remove it before continuing the installation. We chose “No” because it would make much more sense to use Avira together with Windows Defender, and not as a single solution.
Continuing the installation brings you to another important moment: you must decide whether you wish to install a toolbar, which is actually the reason why the app is marked as ad-supported.
Scanning is the kind of process that requires minimal interaction from the user. Choose the hard-disk you want to scan and let Avira do its magic. Scanning is not too fast though, and you may have to wait a little while to get rid of the worms. The speed of the scanning process obviously depends on the amount of data stored on your computer, so more files means more time.
Avira promises to protect your computer against viruses, worms and Trojans AntiDialer protection as well as against dialers and rootkits, spyware and adware. In addition, there are dedicated tools to provide mail and web protection, plus a separate firewall to make sure you're going to stay on the safe side.
In the end, Avira's antivirus solution looks like just perfect for those who want nothing more than a software capable of blocking viruses and Trojan horses. The GUI is more than decent, but a faster scanning process would be great. Still, what you pay is what you get, and Avira is clearly a smart pick.
