Hi there, i recommend Avira...personally i use Avira antivirus on my main PC and even though it comes with bloat i uninstall most of it and keep only the Antivirus software. Seems to work reliably and detects malware if i accidentally do an oopsie. Usually if i know im infected i immediately install Malwarebytes, Emsisoft, Rogue Killer, and AdwCleaner. thats to thoroughly remove unwanted programs and potential rootkits hidden PuP etc... then i uninstall it when i know my pc is already clean....On my other lower end PC i only use Windows Defender and i set it up for maximum protection using ConfigureDefender app by AndyFul on GitHub. Seems to be working fine on Windows 10 Enterprise. My main PC Has i5 6200u and doesnt get slowed down by Avira but my slower PC that only has Celeron n3060 i only use Windows Defender, i have tried installing Avira on it but without it or other 3rd party antivirus the PC seems to run significantly faster. I also watch the pc security channel that tries maximum security setup on windows defender using configure defender, on their test the setup can make the pc far safer than default even though there will be a risk of getting false positives.
yes, it apparently still does. but new updates to the program seems to be removing the luke filewalker, cant seem to find it anywhere. kinda dissapointed i prefer the old look of the app that i can customize to what i want. othewise the performance impact seems minimal on a system running with SSD and 8GB of ram. i have running safer apps and programs as of lately so i rarely even use it for scanning and i just let it run on the background.

I haven't used avira since 2013. I miss those days. Does the umbrella still closes when the software is deactivated?
