How do I use Avira’s antivirus software for PC?
Is Avira Free Antivirus really free?
I have recently become very concerned about the security of my Microsoft accounts since one of them was deleted by a Russian hacker. Thankfully, only my Minecraft account was on it; none of my personal info was. So I need an anti-virus that is free and capable of these points. Btw I use AVG currently but basically everything is hidden behind a paywall. I want something that's free but also like Bitdefender. Also mods pls don't delete this saying there's stuff in the wiki, Im genuinely really concerned about my account safety.
Trackers and viruses Support: Block suspicious hackers, trackers and viruses. Optional: Have a feature like in Bitdefender where it scans a file before opening or smth.
Optional: I don't know if this is possible but account security.
Scans for finding hidden flaws or something on the PC, this is there in AVG but all that really happens is that they find nothing, but then they want you to pay for some random stuff that might happen.
Doesn't randomly have a popup showing to upgrade(optional)
I just like all the features of premium BitDefender and premium AVG. But I just want them for free.
This is really important for me. :)
Probably a stupid question, I'm not very experienced, but what is - in your opinion - the best antivirus that has a lifetime "free" tier, or is open-source and free?
I do not want to use the pay from my job on one since I am underage and do not interact with viruses or potential threats often enough to warrant an expensive antivirus, but I understand the dangers of not having a proper one, even if Windows Defender is "good enough".
Thank you for helping.
Hi
I joined to ask people's opinions on what the best basic free antivirus software is. My Malwarebtyes subscription expired and to save some money, I've decided to uninstall it and go for something free and basic that'll get the job done. I've recently installed AVG Free, but I'm still unsure. Everything these days is subscription based, which I'm not a big fan of and miss the times when you just bought things with a one-time payment and it was yours to install on many devices. :-\ There's also 'catches' I find, where a piece of software will scan your computer, will find something, but then advise you to go 'Premium' in order to get/remove it. Thoughts?
Thanks
