Detect malware and help protect personal data with Avira Antivirus Pro 2018.

## The new, modern look of Avira 2018

From touch to type, our beautiful redesign gives you both more control over your security and greater freedom to automate. You can also now secure up to 5 devices (including Android) with just 1 license.

### Next-gen antivirus: Security for 2018 and beyond

Anti-ransomware

Prevents ransomware from encrypting your data and taking them hostage. Avira blocks 1 million+ ransomware attempts every month, averting damages of over 600€ per attack. We accomplish this via our unique heuristic technology, which stops ransomware before it can do you any harm.

Device control

Gives you control over which removable devices can connect to your computer. Unknown USB devices are risky: they can spread malware as soon as they’re connected. We prevent this by enabling you to scan removable devices as soon as they’re plugged in and before they can do you any harm.

Artificial Intelligence

Automates the analysis of malware to scale our response to cyber-threats. Combining Machine Learning tools with Deep Learning techniques we protect you in real time against Zero Day attacks and Advanced Persistent Threats.

## You needn’t worry about malware

Identity protection

Keep your identity safe - you’ve only got one. Cybercriminals target login credentials, credit card data, and other private info to get what they want. Block the nasty tools they use to steal, such as keyloggers, rootkits and spyware.

Secure finances

Safely shop and bank - you can’t afford not to. Whether you order a yoyo or a yacht, avoid bad surprises on your next bank statement by securing your payments. Our premium protection does that for you by blocking banking Trojans, DNS hijacks, and botnets.

Data privacy

Our business is keeping people out of yours. Your most private photos, videos, and notes are on your computer. So we keep them safe by preventing ransomware from hijacking them, viruses from corrupting them, and snoops from accessing them.

### Sit back and relax

Customer Support

Nobody likes picking up the phone to dial support, so we pride ourselves in our experience. That’s why AV-Comparatives rated our support as “Outstanding.”.
