Avira works as it should. Unfortunately, the Pro version doesn't offer much besides removing the annoyance of getting popups to get you to upgrade from the Free version. It's true that Avira has a long list of features, but most of them feels like padding to justify the upgrade. Turning them on just because you have them causes Avira to use up much more processing power, nullifying the benefit of being a lightweight antivirus.

And for the asking price, you might be better off with a different antivirus that has features that you actually need that has a higher protection rating (Avira appears to have been slipping a little over the past year, but is still generally good at identifying and catching threats). However, if you're looking for a simple and lightweight antivirus, Avira Pro should definitely be considered.

Pros

The antivirus itself is pretty lightweight which is always a huge plus for any software that is constantly running in the background.

Cons

The biggest problem with Avira Pro is the fact that the free version gets you pretty much the same thing. However, the Free version is constantly annoying you with popups to get you to upgrade to Pro. Most of the additional features are also locked behind Pro, but they are unnecessary features for me.

I find it to be exceptionally good for what it is! I felt very guarded on my information and other important things. It works as a silent guardian on your PC even blocking you from downloading probably safe files, but I trust it nevertheless.

Pros

I find this software to be very appropriate for my use. I love taking advantage of it as it offers a wide variety of safety measures. Avira has been popular for many years and now became my product of choice.

Cons

It is sometime a bit too persistent with the way it advertise it, and The basic version only offers so much. I would suggest upgrading for the best function you can get.

This is the only antivirus I setup on my laptop. It does not give false alarms a lot like many other similar apps. I can disable it whenever I want and basically, I am satisfied with the job Avira does.

Pros

It is a great antivirus which is easy to setup and get update. It does not take much RAM which is awesome compare to the other antiviruses that constantly work to update themselves and take so much space in RAM.

Cons

There is not much to not like about this software. That is being said, the format of the app and working environment could have been more attractive and friendly user.

Avira Antivirus Pro Review

Reviewed on 2023/02/18

Pros

I appreciated that Avira Antivirus Pro offers thorough defense against viruses, spyware, ransomware, and other internet threats. Additionally, it offers sophisticated features like real-time defense, a firewall, and risk-free browsing. Also, the user interface is incredibly simple to use, which makes it ideal for new users.

Cons

The price of Avira Antivirus Pro is its main drawback. Even though it is one of the less expensive antivirus applications, it is still more expensive than some of its rivals. Also, some users have said that the program can be sluggish and slow, which affects the performance of the system as a whole.

Avira Antivirus pro is a great antivirus program for those with a little more money to spend. It's one of the most comprehensive antivirus programs out there and offers both real-time scanning, on-demand scanning, antispam filters, system optimization tools, and more. However, this program is not cheap—it's $60 per year (or $120 for three years), though you can find some deals that lower that cost by as much as half if you buy in bulk. That being said, this one is worth checking out if you're looking for something robust without a ton of extra features you may not need. As with any purchase decision, make sure to read through customer reviews before making your decision. Customers found that while the app had an easy installation process, many encountered issues after installation. The company responded quickly to all reports of these issues and was able to fix them right away. Customers were also pleased with how responsive the customer service department was when they required assistance or had questions about the product itself. A drawback customers reported was that they could not select specific files from their computers for protection against malware and viruses. One reviewer also found that it caused other software he had installed on his computer, like Microsoft Office, to crash every time he opened them up, requiring him to contact tech support, which thankfully resolved his issue within hours.

Pros

Avira Antivirus Pro has earned a name as one of the leading antivirus software packages on the market, with over 120 million installations worldwide. But how does it really stack up? We’ve taken an in-depth look at this popular program to uncover its pros and cons.Avira Antivirus Pro is a popular antivirus software with features that are not available on many of its competitors. It comes with real-time protection, spam filter, email scanning, vulnerability scanner, file encryption, parental controls, and web protection. These features combine to make it one of the most comprehensive antiviruses on the market. It also has an intuitive interface that is easy to use for people who don't have a lot of technical experience. There's also a free version of the software, so you can test drive before committing. The Cons: The biggest complaint about Avira Antivirus Pro is that it takes up quite a bit of system resources because it offers so many security options. If your computer is already bogged down by other programs, this may be too much for your machine to handle.

Cons

While there are many positives to using Avira Antivirus Pro, there are also a few negatives that need to be considered. One of the biggest disadvantages is that it can significantly slow down your computer if you have a lot of other programs running in the background. The other downside is that it does not have an app for Apple devices. Finally, some people don't like how they need to pay every year for this software. However, others find this helpful because it forces them to make sure their security is up-to-date each year. If you don't want to commit to paying annually then these antivirus solutions may not be right for you.

In terms of performance, my experience with the program throughout the years has been positive.
It is, in my opinion, one of the greatest and most powerful antivirus and spyware programs available.

Pros

Continuous virus detection without user intervention, as the application runs a scan from time to time to detect viruses, and when the user downloads programs from the Internet or files, Avira checks and verifies that they are virus-free.

Cons

The software sometimes sends out false alarms, alerting the user to the presence of a virus or malicious program. These are not accurate notifications.
also, the software's interface is old and out-of-date, and accessing all features is tough.
