Unlike the standard notion that most of the free products would be of substandard when compared with the paid products which is very much relevant in case of antivirus software, this Avira Antivirus proves it entirely wrong. It is also light and does not hog a great deal of memory while working from behind. It is said to be the second best antivirus in terms of catching the threats and is said to be second only to the Norton Security Suite 2009. The report section of Avira is not as good as any other antivirus programs with which we would need to request for the report rather than generating it automatically after each scan.

You can add exception list to this antivirus of which the feature is not available in Avast Antivirus. It has a quite decent scheduler and works great for the busy professionals. You can set the scheduler depending upon the profile you select. Just like Avast this does not bog down a considerable amount of your computer’s memory and thus slowing it down, in fact you will hardly notice that it is running while you are working on it. Since the personal edition is free, it can be tried as long as you feel comfortable with it or just switch to a paid antivirus software like Kaspersky or McAfee.
