    "Avira Is OK if You Like Nag Screens"

    September 13, 2012  |   By ElObomo

    Pros

    Prolly the best signatures in the business.

    Cons

    No zero-day protection, it's signatures only. Nag screens + adverts from people they sell their pop-ups to.

    Summary

    Great protection if you use it with Comodo Firewall. Too much ad-ware from Avira it's self.

    Hey just_air - any AV that does not have a HIPS or behaviour blocker is bound to fail and what does Comodo have to do with Avira nag screens and popups?????

    Right on the money. I'll now go with another program. The amount of thumbs for these reviews cannot be trusted.

    Here's what just_hotair said about Avira recently: "Scan's for hour's, can not get it to scan right no matter what I do. Avira also can not scan right, and it is all about scanning..............so if anybody can help me here I will come back to Avast."

    Looks like you do not know how to use the COMODO Firewall, I do and I have no pop-ups, Avira is number 1!
