FREE ANTIVIRUS FOR WINDOWS BY AVIRA – MADE IN GERMANY
WHY IS ANTIVIRUS SOFTWARE FOR WINDOWS PCS IMPORTANT?
Browsing the internet puts your privacy at risk. Companies want to track your
behavior to create a detailed profile about you to serve personalized ads.
Browser trackers enable companies to collect a significant amount of data and
track your online activities. You can easily become a victim of adware, which is
not only intrusive but also slows down your device.
The security of your devices is also at risk, especially when shopping online or
using cloud-based services. Cybercriminals are on the lookout for personal data,
trying to steal passwords, bank details, or even hijack your computer access to
use your devices for attacks against others. Keyloggers, rootkits, spyware,
Trojans, and worms are just some of the malware types that can attack your
system. To keep your system secure and protect your privacy, you need to install
an antivirus software, designed to detect and remove malware. With regular virus
scans, you can protect your computer against a wide range of threats.
WHY IS WINDOWS DEFENDER NOT ENOUGH TO PROTECT YOUR SYSTEM?
The Windows Defender Antivirus is installed by default on all devices running
Windows 10. While it is a good option for conducting basic virus scans, it does
not offer complete protection. When tested by IT security experts, the default
windows antivirus didn’t perform as well as other antivirus software, often
failing to block malware. Furthermore, Windows Defender is not updated often
enough to keep up with the new threats. To detect the new types of malware that
are being spread daily, cybersecurity experts recommend an additional antivirus
to conduct real-time virus scans and alert you as soon as a malicious threat is
detected.
HOW TO GET COMPLETE PROTECTION FOR YOUR WINDOWS DEVICE?
You can protect your digital life with Avira’s free antivirus for Windows. Avira
Free Security is the best free antivirus for Windows, with an impressive track
record in tests performed by leading industry experts. It also includes a free
VPN for private and secure browsing and built-in performance optimization tools
to keep your system running fast and efficiently. Avira Free Security is an
all-in-one solution for a carefree digital life.
HOW DOES AVIRA FREE SECURITY FOR WINDOWS WORK?
Avira’s free antivirus software uses the latest cloud technology to offer you
the fastest and most reliable real-time scanning and data protection. The
fingerprints of new unknown files are automatically uploaded to our cloud and
analyzed in real-time. This way, we protect you from Zero-Day-Attacks, where
cybercriminals use new methods to infiltrate your system. Our Protection Cloud
can detect these never-seen-before attacks. Once a new thread has been
identified, you are instantly protected against it.
· Our intelligent learning system NightVision protects you and your
devices against new and evolving threats.
· The PUA Shield discovers potentially unwanted software that is hidden
within legitimate software.
· Our Web Protection stops you from visiting dangerous websites, and
proactively blocks malicious and phishing URLs in websites, social networks and
email.
· Your Windows Firewall is a key element in protecting your whole system.
With our Firewall Manager you can optimize the protection with just one click.
· Cybercriminals are constantly trying to distribute their malware via
email with infected links or attachments. Our Email Protection, available for
the Pro version, scans emails for these dangers.
· Install the browser extension Avira Browser Safety for Chrome, Firefox,
and Opera to block tracking cookies and annoying banners on websites.
You can protect yourself and your devices from viruses, ransomware, banker
Trojans, and other types of malware with our free antivirus for Windows. Our
solutions, “Made in Germany”, have won hundreds of awards and are used by
millions of satisfied customers.
IS AVIRA’S FREE ANTIVIRUS COMPATIBLE WITH WINDOWS 7?

antivirus remains compatible with Windows 7. We will continue to provide updates
until the end of 2022. While we encourage you to upgrade to Windows 10, we still
offer protection if you decide to continue using Windows 7 for a while.

If your computer or laptop operates with Windows 10, download Avira Free
Security, the best free antivirus for Windows 10. Our next-gen AI Technology
