Avira Antivirus ProĪvira has revamped its interface since our last review. The Prime plan is good value, too - you can pay more than $10 for a monthly VPN plan alone from many providers. If you can't make up your mind, or you're just not ready to commit, Avira Prime has a 30-day trial, and all products are available on a monthly subscription (a single device is priced at $5 for Antivirus Pro, $6 for Internet Security, $10 for Prime.) That's an unusual but welcome touch which gives time to figure out if the suite works for you. Avira Antivirus Pro and Internet Security can't quite compete. Overall, if you can live with Avira Free's limits or use Prime's VPN, these look like the pick of the range. It's far from the best VPN we've seen ( check out our full review here (opens in new tab)) but it covers the basics, and is worth $78 all on its own. That gets you everything in Internet Security, plus premium Android and iOS apps, Avira's hugely powerful PC speedup suite, and, crucially, unlimited use of Avira's Phantom VPN Pro. As with Antivirus Pro, there's no opening discount, and it looks a little overpriced for the feature you're getting.Īvira Prime (opens in new tab) offers the best value in the range, with its annual five-device license costing $100. It's priced from $58 for a one-year, one-device license, or $71 to cover three devices. (Bitdefender Antivirus Plus 2020 is $30 for year one, but $60 on renewal.)Īvira Internet Security (opens in new tab) adds automatic detection and updating for missing security patches, and Avira's own password manager. There's better value as you extend your subscription, so for instance a three device, one-year license is a reasonable $58.

Pricing looks a fraction high at $45 for a one device, one-year license, but that's mostly because there's no introductory discount. Upgrading to Avira Antivirus Pro (opens in new tab) gets you scanning of downloads, torrents and cloud storage, an extra layer of ransomware protection, system-wide URL filtering and 'Premium' custom support. Avira Antivirus Pro for $9.99 per year (opens in new tab).You can sign up for Avira's antivirus solutions here (opens in new tab)Īvira Antivirus Pro subscription options:.The free version of the VPN (opens in new tab), for example, limits you to a near useless 500MB a month, barely enough to run a single online speed test. Some of the extras aren't as impressive as they sound, either. While the free product has a great antivirus (opens in new tab) engine, significant limitations include no scanning of downloads or email attachments, URL filtering via browser extensions only, and no customer support beyond what you can find on the website. Be sure to check the small print, though.
