Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Avira gives a slate of apps in one reasonable price. Excellent value. Anti-virus has not allowed any break throughs. Highly recommended to others.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

This is an excellent app. The antivirus is very efficient and easy to use. I especially like the computer clean feature. It keeps my laptop uncluttered and running well.

Their free antivirus is the best on the market, they do not spam and do not keep pushing for end users to pay or upgrade constantly like most other software suits do in general. I used the the free... See more

Quality Service

I've trusted AVIRA for many years on PC's I've used over the years, and it has never disappointed me. It is very efficient in protecting your PC and your privacy, and it is free which I would like to appreciate the team behind AVIRA on bringing such services to us, their premium price is not bad. Thank you to all the developers.

Money, Money, Money

The software and features are actually quite good, but this is overshadowed by the huge price rises, automatic renewal without reminder or review, and serious difficulty in cancelling/refunding.

Avira works in the background

Avira works in the background. I have had excellent results. Sometimes I wish they were more pushy and just told me what to do but they seem to be protecting me very well. I have been a subscriber for more than 10 years and have never had an issue.

Very Disappointed – Not Worth It

I am extremely unhappy with Avira. Almost everything about it is frustrating. The constant notifications are incredibly annoying. Every few minutes there is another pop-up trying to push upgrades or extra features. It feels more like advertising than protection.

Also, nothing is really free. The so-called “free” version is very limited and constantly tries to make you pay for basic features. It’s misleading and disappointing. I expected proper protection, but instead I got endless reminders to buy something.

Overall, this experience has been very bad. I would not recommend Avira to anyone.

It´s shit

This app is totally shit! It doesn´t work as you want it to, it makes your computer work worse. I got so many notifitcations, and they wanted that i pay for an upgrade, every day. It helped NOTHING. When i wanted to delete it, it didn´t let me, it was a very long progress. If someone asks me i would say, never load it down.

Disgusting service and typical avoidance and pull back tactics that has been going on for months with no result.
I regard this as a form on online abuse.
