• Helps integrate security when standard antivirus products are not suitable
  SAVAPI is the interface to Avira‘s core technologies for integrations with software and hardware products (e.g. web services, mail and web gateways, security appliances, client/sever applications).

  SAVAPI is available as a service/daemon–accessible via socket communication (TCP/IP or local socket)–or as a C library for direct integration.
