Key Features

Cloud-Based Antivirus Protection
Avira Prime’s cloud-powered real-time protection continuously monitors and blocks malware, operating silently in the background. The Online Protection feature automatically scans your system for any suspicious activity, alerting you if a file is accessed, copied, or used without your consent. By leveraging the Avira Protection Cloud for file comparison, your device's resources remain unburdened.

Customizable Virus Scanner
Regularly inspect your hard drive for malware with Avira’s integrated virus scanner. You have full control over the frequency and scope of the scans. Unlike real-time protection, the system scan runs in the foreground and requires manual initiation.

Enhanced Ransomware Protection
Avira Prime offers advanced heuristic detection tailored to combat ransomware. This feature identifies suspicious behaviors and typical patterns, enabling it to detect and block even previously unknown ransomware variants.

USB Device Protection
Safeguard your system by scanning USB sticks and other external devices for malware with Avira Prime’s comprehensive antivirus protection.

Automatic Software Updates (Windows)
Avira Prime’s Software Updater Pro automatically updates your drivers and third-party programs, swiftly closing potential security vulnerabilities in outdated software.

Web and Email Protection (Windows)
It provides robust web protection to block unsafe websites, phishing attempts, and malicious downloads. Additionally, its email protection scans your incoming emails for harmful attachments and phishing links.

Enhanced Firewall (Windows)
Avira’s Firewall adds an extra layer of security to your Windows PC, working alongside the built-in firewall. It identifies and blocks potentially dangerous applications, safeguarding your system against intrusions and data-sharing risks.

Browser Safety Extension
With Avira’s browser extension, you can block dangerous websites, phishing attempts, and malicious downloads. This extension also includes an ad blocker and anti-tracking features to enhance your online safety.

FAQ

What exactly is Avira Prime, and what does it include?
Avira Prime is an all-in-one premium subscription that bundles Avira’s entire suite - real-time antivirus and antimalware protection, Phantom VPN with unlimited bandwidth, a password manager, system cleanup and optimization tools (like System Speedup Pro), web protection, and more - delivered across Windows, macOS, Android, and iOS from a unified dashboard. 

What notable features does Avira Prime offer beyond antivirus?
Beyond strong malware protection, Avira Prime includes a VPN with a kill switch and 50+ server locations, a built-in password manager with strong encryption, secure browsing tools that block trackers and ads, and performance optimizations like driver updater, duplicate file finder, game booster, duplicate finder, and system cleaner to improve speed and efficiency. 

How well does Avira Prime perform, and is it effective?
Avira Prime delivers excellent virus and malware detection (top scores in AV-test labs), minimal performance impact, and features like secure real-time web protection and intuitive firewall management on Windows - though some supplementary tools like VPN speed or system cleaner aren’t quite as strong as standalone competitors. 

What are the main drawbacks or trade-offs of Avira Prime?
Though Avira Prime offers a broad feature set, some tools (like VPN performance, system optimization, and password management) lack polish compared to dedicated tools, Mac support is less robust, identity theft protection is region-limited, and the high subscription cost may not justify upgrading for users already covered by free Avira or Windows Defender.
