Avira Antivirus 2018 is here, combining next-generation AI, a new interface, and cross-platform availability to give you even greater — and easier — security. Avira Antivirus makes it simple to be protected online – regardless of your device or your operating system.
Stepping out into a dangerous world
It’s a dynamic world of growing threats and changing devices. In just the first three months of 2017, Avira detected nearly 1.4 billion threats (1.397.672.601) to its users’ devices. The online world is on track to reach the usual six-month threat levels; Trojan malware threats more than doubling, ransomware growing by over 20 percent, and even more closely targeted phishing attacks. In addition to traditional malware, corrupted advertising networks are distributing increasing numbers of intrusive and malicious ads.

Threats vary by country as cybercriminals fine-tune their campaigns to most effectively exploit local conditions and user habits. In the USA, Vonteera adware, which changes browser settings and shuts down security software, was the most frequently blocked threat.
As threats increase, so does the size of the average household’s device portfolio. A growing portfolio of devices – running operating systems ranging from Android, iOS, to Microsoft’s Windows – are online, pushing their owners to either learn a new security regime for each device or risk getting hit by cybercriminals pushing their wares.
Next-gen AI for a carefree experience
Avira Antivirus 2018 is no newcomer to the security space. It’s backed by over 30 years of malware-stopping experience, coupled with nearly a decade of applied AI and machine-learning security expertise. These three decades of data on malware, combined with the latest AI technologies, give Avira Antivirus 2018 an enormous advantage in quickly recognizing patterns and anomalies within suspect files and the ability to continuously fine-tune its detection for future threats.
We’ve been using AI to sort and sift suspicious files long before it became a buzzword. Avira Antivirus 2018 is our third generation of merging AI’s machine learning capabilities with cloud analysis. — Travis Witteveen, CEO at Avira.
Avira Antivirus 2018malware detection and stopping capabilities are driven by NightVision, Avira’s own cloud-based AI-technology platform. NightVision taps data from millions of sensors and uses machine learning techniques to analyze suspect files by more than 8,000 different dimensions. Avira also stays a step ahead of the cybercriminals by doing much of its detection and analysis in the cloud, keeping techniques secure behind closed doors.
