Avira AntiVir 9.0 Review – Prevention Test Video

In this review I put Avira’s AntiVir 9 to the test by trying to load 10 malicious URL’s on a PC protected by AntiVir 9.  The results are below:





Avira has included some very notable upgrades in this release of AntiVir:

- Anti-Spyware is now included
- Anti-Adware is now included
- Early Load (loaded the OnGuard protection as early as possible during the boot process)

Avira AntiVir 9.0 supports

- Windows Vista 32 and 64 bit

AVG 8.0 Security Toolbar Includes Yahoo Search

Get the best antivirus available today. Free Scan

AVG has released another version of their free anti-virus product (version 8.0), only this time they have included AVG Anti-Spyware and something called the AVG Security Toolbar (which scans for hijacked websites and drive by downloads).

While I applaud AVG giving us AVG Anti-Spyware it’s too bad that their security toolbar has to include yahoo search. The toolbar is optional, so I suppose I can’t complain too much.

If you don’t want to install the AVG Security toolbar but you still want to make sure websites you are visiting are somewhat safe I would recommend installing AVG without the Security Toolbar and adding Mcafee Site Advisor (which checks to see if a website is safe and does not add any toolbars in your browser).

If you accidently installed the avg security toolbar and you want to remove / uninstall the security toolbar there are 2 options:

1. Uninstall AVG and Re-Install it, however this time select a custom install and uncheck the AVG Security Toolbar.

2. Use ToolBar Cop 3.4 and just disable or delete the Security Toolbar.
