AVIRA INTERNET SECURITY 2014
The latest update to
Avira Antivirus adds Online Essentials, Avira's Web
dashboard, a more approachable, more modern, and more encompassing way
to manage
security across your devices. While Avira Free Antivirus looks
and runs the same as prior versions, the integration of Online
Essentials redefines how you scan and protect your
computers.
Pros
Basic UI: The old tweaks and settings are still there, but you probably
messed with them just once a year, and then by accident. Now, Avira
directs all management functions to the Online Essentials Web dashboard,
greatly simplifying the primary user flow of running scans and managing
devices.
Online Essentials: Avira Online Essentials is the new Web dashboard that
makes managing Avira on your devices one consistent experience. Your
novice friend might have trouble protecting their computer, but with
Pilot, they might never have to.
Performance:Avira ranks relatively high on the detection scale, scoring
above the industry average in detection of malware from the AV-Test
reference sets.
Design: Avira Antivirus's design has started to reflect the Online
Essentials dashboard, and the results look great. Design assets and
direction, such as icons and avatars, are distinct, bright, fun, and --
most importantly -- consistent. The prominence of the new design will
drastically reduce surprises and confusion when you switch between
devices.
