The price is quite expensive for me.
I think the product is really good but the price is quite expensive per years. For me who doesn't use it much for work, it might be not worth to pay that much for my laptop or phone.

One of the best anti-viruses I have tried
I love that Avira is free and is not one of those anti-viruses that is secretly a free trial but only reveals that it is a free trial MUCH later. Less popups would be nice though.

avira blocks free version updates
avira installs secret files on your computer to ensure once avira free stops working, you are stuck with it and no amount of uninstalling and reinstalling will unblock definition viruses.
Response to Avira's response: I want Avira to update, not to just uninstall. And that is no longer happening. You do not offer help - nor should you - for the free version, but you should also not block the updates after two years of the use of the free version. That's just cheap. Or utter incompetence by your coders, if that is not by design. Which, when I look at your code, to me looks like part of your design, not an error. And I know how to fix that.

Keeps my system updated and protected.
Avira does what I need it to in keeping my system and phones protected and updated. I really like that it is not a memory hog compared to other products I've tried.

I’ve used Avira mainly Reliable Protection, Too Much Sales Noiseas a daily
I’ve used Avira mainly as a daily, background antivirus, not as a full security suite. In that role, it does its job well: it runs quietly most of the time, catches common threats, and doesn’t noticeably slow the system. Installation is straightforward, updates are automatic, and basic protection works without constant user involvement.
