Avira Free Antivirus

Your home computer doesn't necessarily require professional security options. As such, the free edition of Avira Antivirus seems to be the right choice for many users who are searching for an anti-malware solution with very good performance results and regular software and virus definition updates, just to be sure infections stay away from their precious data.

Swift setup and clear-cut interface

Unlike many av products, Avira Free Antivirus is easy to install, as user assistance is minimal. However, since the program comes with its own real-time protection module against malware, it will most likely conflict with any already existing antivirus tool. Therefore, users should either disable or uninstall the other av utility, in order to prevent any Windows stability issues.

As for the interface, the developers have always opted for a clean look and intuitive options, and their latest Avira version makes no exception. While beginners can apply the app's default configuration and enable/disable any major component with one click, experts are free to tinker with each part of the system scanner, real-time guard, quarantine, scheduler, reports and events.
