This technology was implemented in all paid 2013 products.ĪPC was initially only used during a manual quick system scan later it was extended to real-time protection.Īvira offers its antivirus engine in the form of a software development kit to implement in complementary products. It uses information available via the Internet (cloud computing) to improve detection and affect system performance less. Protection Cloud Īvira Protection Cloud (APC) was first introduced in version 2013. ProActiv sends information on suspicious programs to the Avira databases for logging.Īvira removed their own firewall technology from 2014 onwards, with protection supplied instead by Windows Firewall ( Windows 7 and after), because Windows 8, and later the Microsoft Certification Program, forces developers to use interfaces introduced in Windows Vista. The rule sets are supplied by Avira databases. The ProActiv component uses rule sets developed by the Avira Malware Research Center to identify suspicious behavior.

Advance heuristic Īvira products contain heuristics that proactively uncover unknown malware, before a special virus signature to combat the damaging element has been created and before a virus guard update has been sent. Its file-by-file scanning feature has jokingly been titled 'Luke Filewalker' by the developers, as a reference to the Star Wars media franchise character ' Luke Skywalker'. Nowadays there are 32 smaller definition files that are updated regularly in order to avoid peaks in the download of the updates. Avira responded by reducing the size of the individual update files, delivering less data in each update. A 15 MB database clean-out was made on 27 October 2008, causing problems to the users of the Free edition because of its large size and Avira's slow Free edition servers. Technology Virus definition Īvira periodically 'cleans out' its virus definition files, replacing specific signatures with generic ones for a general increase in performance and scanning speed.
