Avira's approach is an improvement on what we usually see, though, and manages to give more scanning control to expert users, while keeping everything very easy to use for everyone else. You're not able to define how these custom scans work (file types to check or ignore, detection methods to use, and so on), as you can with Avast and some others. You can also save new custom scans to check specific drives and folders, making it easier to recall them later.

Avira gives you many more options, with predefined scans to check your Documents folder, the Windows folders, removable drives, active processes and more. It doesn't cover a lot, but it's likely to catch most common threats, and it only took 60 seconds for us.Ĭhoosing a custom scan in most antivirus apps results in a prompt asking you which drive or folder you'd like to check.

This looks for malware, network issues, privacy and performance problems (tracking cookies, junk files, startup apps, orphaned Registry entires), yet still took less than a minute on our test system.Ī Quick Scan option runs a more conventional check on system files, running processes and the Registry. We tapped the Smart Scan button on the dashboard.

There's still plenty of functionality, though, and choosing Security, Privacy or Performance on the left-hand sidebar gives you access to everything you need: scans, firewall, the Software Updater, VPN, optimisation tools and more. Out goes the tired old design, in comes a dark themed and simplified dashboard with little more than a status indicator and a Smart Scan button to run some instant system checks. Avira Antivirus ProĪvira has revamped its interface since our last review. The Prime plan is good value, too - you can pay more than $10 for a monthly VPN plan alone from many providers. If you can't make up your mind, or you're just not ready to commit, Avira Prime has a 30-day trial, and all products are available on a monthly subscription (a single device is priced at $5 for Antivirus Pro, $6 for Internet Security, $10 for Prime.) That's an unusual but welcome touch which gives time to figure out if the suite works for you.

Avira Antivirus Pro and Internet Security can't quite compete. Overall, if you can live with Avira Free's limits or use Prime's VPN, these look like the pick of the range.

It's far from the best VPN we've seen ( check out our full review here) but it covers the basics, and is worth $78 all on its own.

That gets you everything in Internet Security, plus premium Android and iOS apps, Avira's hugely powerful PC speedup suite, and, crucially, unlimited use of Avira's Phantom VPN Pro. As with Antivirus Pro, there's no opening discount, and it looks a little overpriced for the feature you're getting.Īvira Prime offers the best value in the range, with its annual five-device license costing $100. It's priced from $58 for a one-year, one-device license, or $71 to cover three devices.

(Bitdefender Antivirus Plus 2020 is $30 for year one, but $60 on renewal.)Īvira Internet Security adds automatic detection and updating for missing security patches, and Avira's own password manager. There's better value as you extend your subscription, so for instance a three device, one-year license is a reasonable $58. Pricing looks a fraction high at $45 for a one device, one-year license, but that's mostly because there's no introductory discount. Upgrading to Avira Antivirus Pro gets you scanning of downloads, torrents and cloud storage, an extra layer of ransomware protection, system-wide URL filtering and 'Premium' custom support.

Be sure to check the small print, though.
