Avira Anti-Virus Lightest on System Memory and CPU Usage

A friend of my told me to download an antivirus software for her, she could not remember the name of the anti-virus, instead, she only remembers the logo of the company, which is a red umbrella.

That is how I found out about Avira AntiVir Personal 9, I thought the umbrella symbol and its ugly user interface makes it one of the most unreliable anti-virus in the market but I was proven wrong after giving it a try.

Based on my own experience and experts reviews, Avira Anti-virus is very light on system memory and CPU usage, this is could a good and bad indication, it could be that it does not perform background check as intensive as the other anti-virus programs or it simply has a very good set of codes that somehow reduces memory usage.

Avira Antivir Personal 9 is highly recommended for people that still uses Windows 98 or computers that has limited resources.

I always believe that the best anti-virus is non other than us, avoid suspicious programs and always download software from the official website, torrent websites is the final source for instant if you’re looking for outdated releases that is not available in the official website.

Here are the features:

Avira offers: Extensive Malware Recognition of viruses, Trojans, backdoor programs, worms, etc.
Automatic incremental updates of antivirus signatures, engine and entire software.
Permanent virus protection, with Virus Guard real time monitoring.
Scheduler where you can set the scanner to make automatic virus scans or updates on your system.
Forum and phone support, Knowledge Base with virus descriptions available on web site.
Rootkit Detection and Removal.
A modularized AV-search engine for improved scan performance
An integrated failsafe security system, and SMTP support for AntiVir MailGuard.
Detects private trojan through heuristic method, not through virus definition

And the pros and cons:

Pros: Very fast scan, low on memory.
Cons: The updates are painfully slow, took nearly two hours to update the definitions and comes with “Nagware” asking you to upgrade to the retail version.
