Avira Antivirus Pro offers the same basic protection as Avira Free Security, plus a few added features that don't all work well. Stick with the free edition or, in a business setting, make a better and less expensive choice.
This antivirus tool does the job, but it’s expensive – and the in-app advertising really sticks in the throat
What Antivirus Pro adds are various privacy and performance tools. The former include a cut-down version of Avira’s Phantom VPN and a password manager but these are both a bit of a swizz. The VPN is of very limited use as it only lets you transfer 1GB of data per month and doesn’t let you spoof your location – you’ll need to pay an extra £52 per year for the fully unlocked version. And, while the password manager is quite versatile, with no annoying limitations on stored items or devices, it’s only the same as the free edition, which anyone can download.
