What are the benefits of Avira Antivirus Pro?
Avira’s free antivirus and Avira Antivirus Pro use the same powerful scan engine and the AI-enabled cloud-based detection system for real-time protection against malware. Both versions offer seamless virus scans and are light on system resources in both idle and scanning modes.
While both free and pro versions have the same powerful antivirus protection at their core, Avira Antivirus Pro offers additional web protection, email protection for securing unencrypted email traffic, and advanced ransomware protection.
With web protection, you can browse the internet safely and securely. Web protection automatically blocks suspicious websites, offering protection against spam, phishing, keyloggers, and many other threats.
Cybercriminals can infect websites with malicious code and attempt to steal your passwords, personal details, or even credit card information when shopping online. When web protection is enabled, each website you visit is quickly scanned. If malicious web content is detected, the website is blocked. However, you have complete control over the feature, and you can easily configure it – find out how.
Emails may contain phishing links and malware hidden in attachments, two of the most common threats. Besides, the security and privacy of emails might be compromised on their route from mail clients to mail servers. If emails are not encrypted, the data they contain might be intercepted along the route. If this happens, cybercriminals can copy or even modify the content.
Avira’s email protection is a powerful email scanner for email protocols (POP, IMAP, and SMTP), capable of detecting viruses and malicious links. All incoming emails are scanned in a few seconds, and you are protected from viruses included in attachments, potentially unwanted applications, and phishing links. You also have the option to enable email protection for outgoing emails. Currently, email protection is available only for Windows.
Avira offers anti-ransomware protection for all its users. The anti-ransomware protection in Avira’s free antivirus is based on a signature analysis, while the anti-ransomware protection in Avira antivirus Pro is based on behavior analysis.
Signature-based analysis is used to detect known threats. The potential threat is checked against an extensive database of known ransomware. If the threat matches one from the database, it is blocked. Behavior-based analysis adds an additional layer of security by checking what actions a piece of code triggers. If the actions are associated with processes typically initiated by ransomware, such as disabling security controls or encrypting files stored on the device, then the antivirus blocks these dangerous activities.
