Some of the apps in this list are stuffed with features, and that's where Bitdefender differs: It's completely free from clutter and includes only an antivirus tool.

This free version is very much like the professional edition you can buy except that the paid version doesn’t contain ads, will update its definitions every hour, includes an app locker, and supports the secure browsing feature that helps your device stay clean when browsing the web, downloading files, and shopping online. Here are some other things Avira's app is capable of: updated apps are re-scanned when they're finished updating to ensure that any new files aren't infected you define whether files and/or apps are scanned show notifications when threats are found-handy so that you aren't bombarded with messages each time it finds the device clean an anti-theft tool lets you find your device remotely or lock or wipe it apps with privileged access to your information are categorized by risk level an Activity section shows a history of what Avira has been doing and what it finds Overcharging Protection can remind you to unplug the device when it’s fully charged and the Identity Safeguard function checks company breaches to see if your email was included in any of them.

When threats are found, you'll be alerted of the threat type (riskware, PUP, etc.) and will have the option to ignore them or delete them on the spot. If that isn't enough for you, you can always start a manual scan whenever you want to check for malware like adware, riskware, ransomware, and potentially unwanted programs. It can scan each time you disconnect from a computer as well as start scheduled scans once a day, every day. Packed with other tools you might not want.Īvira’s antivirus app does what all AV apps should do: automatically scans apps for malware, checks for threats in external storage devices, shows which apps have access to your private information, and is extremely easy to use.

Every screen advertises the paid edition.
