Antivirus software nowadays is divided into two types: directly installed antivirus software and online antivirus service websites. Installed antivirus software has the advantage of possessing a diverse and extensive virus and malware identification database, while online antivirus sites are more flexible and equally effective compared to using antivirus software.
Avira differs from other software that provides both antivirus installation files and online virus scanning services like Bitdefender, Kaspersky, ESET, McAfee, or F-Secure. Although lacking online scanning features, Avira Free inherits intelligent scanning features that protect users from malicious websites, ensure safe web browsing, enhance search speed, etc. These are support tools that very few free antivirus software versions can provide to users.
