Despite not being a household name, Avira brings to the table a host of security tools to protect users from online attacks, spyware, phishing scams, and identity-related threats. The password manager is a lifesaver, not only for those who are forgetful but also for generating high-security passwords. Its Safe Shopping browser extension, available on Chrome, Opera, and Edge, also prevents you from accessing sites that are famous for promoting scams or phishing attacks.
Avira’s best feature is perhaps its free plan, which still offers a plethora of anti-virus protection features but also includes a free 500 MB/month VPN that can be used to browse the web. For just $30.99 a year, though, you can protect up to 30 devices, making Avira the king of value among all anti-virus apps you can purchase. The premium subscription also offers unlimited VPN access, real-time data breach alerts, and enhanced performance tools to speed up your PC.
