Review:
Avira returns to the security field with a second major revamp in as
many years of its flagship free antivirus and paid upgrades. Whereas
last year's overhaul focused on a breezy new installation and
modernizing its interface, the 2013 version is all about offering
competitive and forward-thinking security features.
All that sounds well and good, and Avira has even killed off its
obnoxious, interrupting pop-up in the free version. However, some
aggressive components of those features gave us pause when using the
suite.
Installation
Last year's improved, zippy install has been changed slightly, and that may cause problems for some people.
Getting into Avira has never been easier, and it still has a two-click
install. The company says that it developed the two-click installation
as part of its "less is more" strategy, where it offers the same level
of protection as before without the hassle. Of course, that's a tacit
acknowledgement of prior problems.
