Avira Prime vs. AWS VPN

Avira Antivirus has the quality of being multiplatform. It is available for Windows, Linux, and Mac, and in addition to its paid version, there is also a free version. As with most antivirus software, it is able to scan hard and removable drives for viruses, and it also runs as a background process, testing each file (both open and closed).

• It runs in the background so it does not interrupt the actions that are being carried out.
• Work in real time allowing alerts to be issued immediately
• Offers plans with very accessible prices
• Your support team is very attentive, they are always available.
• Offers protection against known and advanced threats

• Its level of protection in real time could be better when dealing with multiple threats. For example, it does not adequately block files that are auto-downloaded without the user's permission.

Since the product runs really well overall, and I haven't really run into any major issues, I have not had a need to contact the vendor directly for support. I have perused the vendor's site for other support channels, and they do have a number of good support options, such as submitting a request, KB articles, and Community forums. One support option that does not seem to be available (or might be really hard to find) is a direct line to call for phone support. As an individual or business member you can submit a request via a web form, which then will be sent to the tech support team, at which point they will call you.

Bitdefender Antivirus - another product that I have used for a number of years. Avira has some big advantages over other AV products on the market today. One of the big advantages is that in most AV tests of AV products, Avira most often scores at the very top of the list, for both performance and detection rates in discovering viruses/malware. Another big advantage that Avira, compared to some other big-name AV products out there, is that Avira tends to use little system resources when installed/running on a client machine. This is an important aspect when choosing an AV product.

• the main thing is that for some time now my PC has not been infected with any virus, and I have not lost any more information, so I have all the documents and presentations ready to do my classes.
