The new Avira software will be tightly integrated into the new Windows Server product and will be easy to manage from within the Home Server Console. It will offer complete protection against malware attacks on files stored on the server through its on-demand and on-access real-time scanning features. Both are renowned for their extremely high detection rate and very fast performance. The Avira software automatically updates the underlying protection technology without any user interaction.
