Pros:
Top-notch protection; Helpful Child Protection and Browser plugin features; Built-in security browser plugin
Cons:
Biggest performance impact during full scans; Possibly
intimidating interface; Full web protection not included in free version
Verdict :
Excellent malware detection, a good interface and a strong
set of extra features makes Avira our editor's choice for free antivirus
products.
German digital-security company Avira may not be as well-known in the U.S. as some of its competition, but its Avira Free Antivirus
2014 gives you a lot for nothing. The software has perfect
malware-detection scores, a relatively stripped-down (though sometimes
intimidating) interface and a good range of other free tools. It’s our
top choice for free PC antivirus solutions. MORE: Best Free Anti-Virus Software
Setup and interface
Downloading and running Avira Free Antivirus was simple. The free
version is featured prominently on Avira.com, and downloading and
installing it is as simple as any other online program. You don’t even
need to create an Avira account. Unlike AVG and, to a lesser extent, Avast, Avira applies little to no pressure to upgrade from the free to the paid version. Once
it’s installed, Avira Free Antivirus shows up in either a regular
application interface, or a sort of mini-interface that appears as a
popup from the gadget menu in bottom right of the Windows desktop
toolbar. The popup will display all active Avira products, which can be
launched by clicking on the product’s name, and an icon notifying users
whether their PCs are currently protected.
