Features and Highlights

Real-Time Protection
It continuously scans your system in real-time, detecting and removing malware, viruses, and other malicious programs.

Web Protection
It blocks harmful websites, phishing attempts, and suspicious downloads, ensuring your online activities remain secure.

Ransomware Protection
It safeguards your files from ransomware attacks, preventing unauthorized encryption and potential data loss.

Email Protection

Privacy Tools
This software includes privacy-enhancing features like a file shredder, which permanently deletes sensitive files, and a VPN for secure browsing.

Anti-ransomware
Prevents ransomware from encrypting your data and taking them hostage. Avira blocks 1 million+ ransomware attempts every month, averting damages of over €600 per attack. We accomplish this via unique heuristic technology, which stops ransomware before it can do you any harm.

Device control
It gives you control over which removable devices can connect to your computer. Unknown USB devices are risky: they can spread malware as soon as they’re connected. We prevent this by enabling you to scan removable devices as soon as they’re plugged in and before they can do you any harm.

Identity protection
Cybercriminals target login credentials, credit card data, and other private info to get what they want. Block the nasty tools they use to steal, such as keyloggers and rootkits.

Secure finances
Whether you order a yoyo or a yacht, avoid bad surprises on your next bank statement by securing your payments. Premium protection does that for you by blocking banking Trojans, DNS hijacks, and botnets.

Data privacy
Your most private photos, videos, and notes are on your computer. So it keeps them safe by preventing ransomware from hijacking them, viruses from corrupting them, and snoops from accessing them.

Securely surf, stream, and download
Browse with complete confidence: it blocks malicious websites, drive-by downloads, and hijack attempts on your web browser – not to mention phishing attacks via social networks and email.

Stay firmly in control of your own stuff
It scans your network’s ports for unusual activity and offers intuitive management controls for your Firewall, so any attempt to use your PC to send spam, carry out denial-of-service attacks or transfer illicit funds will be blocked.

Artificial Intelligence at your service
If there’s an outbreak, you’d want to be the first to know – right? Now you can. Integrated into the antivirus scanner is cutting-edge cloud technology, which protects you from 0-day threats as they emerge in real-time.
