WOW! AVIRA CLEANED MY PHONE IN MINUTES!

Wow! Before I discovered and installed Avira.com, my android cell phone was besieged by constant pop-up videos, redirects and ads despite blocking them. A computer store recently quoted me $150 to remove phone viruses and malware. Now, thanks to the FREE Avira scans and cleaning procedures,my phone is CLEAN and EFFICIENT AGAIN IN MINUTES! THANK YOU, AVIRA!

Good for free antivirus decent on premium features

As an antivirus its great. I don't exactly need the premium features. Antivirus can be a little heavy at times but it works great it can also be a bit aggressive but stuff can be restored immediately

I recently switched to Avira

I recently switched to Avira cause my previous antivirus gave me trouble. I purchased the prime version it works perfectly on my laptop and desktop as well. I saw people talk about data selling but I didn't have any issues with it.

Billing

Avira has been my choice when it comes to antivirus.

But avira has a problem when billing a monthly fee.

As today i got the first warning they can not whitdraw the fee.

Why do you do that ?

I started my subscription on 1.

It almost end whit me who has to startup a renewel subscription. You try to charge my fee today the 25.04-2024.

Thats why i only give 3 stars. It draws your allround product down. It is enoying.

Comme si, comme ca

I like because it is enough good to protect your computer by free, however I give 3 stars because of this constant scaremongering publicity that my computer is in risk and I need to subscribe. No problem with that, what annoys me is that the pub pops up when watching a film or when I am opening emails, etc. I try to close and the popup is insistent and I have to stoop what I am watching or doing in order to shutdown the Avira pub. Sometimes I feel I want to erase it from my computer, so annoying is.

Very bad

Very bad: Avira charges your credit card more than one month before your subscription expires. Never leave a valid credit card on their website if you do not want to renew anyway. Customer Service (see link in response) did not react to my email.

Buggy

Sometimes the antivirus just crashes in background and does not notifies you about this. It just stops working and you have to restart computer for fix. And sometimes the system tray right click context menu just stops working and the only solution is reinstalling avira (repairing does not helps). And the worst problem is avira locks files the only way to unlock file is restarting. And final: the UI is really bad, very confusing for low tect people

I bought yearly subscriptions and you constantly have to restore purcahse

I bought yearly subscriptions and you constantly have to restore the purchase because it thinks you haven't bought anything even though you are logged in. connection constantly fails and you have to restart you computer for it to be able to connect again. Is good but very frustrating. changed to monthly subcription to see if its any better.... but its not.

Compatibility with Chromebook

It's not clear from your website if your product can be used on a chromebook - although it does say my system is compatible - this has not always been the case. Can you tell me if your product and which one is compatible for use on a chromebook?

Scam

Signed up to Avira to protect our computers from internet scammers, not give them my bank details. Have repeatedly unsubscribed from their service, had confirmation from their "customer service" that I have unsubscribed, but the only thing that stops them billing your card is to cancel your credit card. Partner and my accounts, same problem for both. AVOID.

Intrusive 100% Free Antivirus

Excellent protection but intrusive when I'm debugging programs that I've written in Visual Studio. This is great option for casual home users, though.

honestly tried to contact customer…

honestly tried to contact customer service after I was charged after my free trial that I cancelled in advance. Could not get through at all. No answer to emails and need to be a member to get better support apparently. I do not have an account registered with Avira but they took money anyway so they must keep your Credit card details. I canceled with my bank but I expect they will take payment next year as well ?! Edit after response.....Facebook chat unable to help. Referred to Robot chat again and a number I cannot get through to. Wonderful.

Free or Premium! Avira always stands out!!

Initially I've used the free version of Avira antivirus for a long time and It was quite good for basic protection and never had an issue. Keeping the latest cyber security threats in mind, I had to upgrade for a premium version of Avira and it is worth trying.
According to me the most important feature of Avira is that Avira products are pretty lightweight on system resources along with top class protection.
