This includes use with Windows and Linux as well as on Intel and non-Intel processors. Thanks to the use of resource-saving programming technologies, Avira products have low RAM requirements.
Avira constantly adapts to the changing security requirements of its users. For example, Avira created one of the world’s first ever products with dialer detection. This dialer detection was very quickly followed by the detection and removal of adware and spyware. Current developments in this field include the detection of already active rootkits. The introduction of a firewall and behavior blockers was a matter of course. In-house development also fosters the development of various new special scanning technologies, for example for PDAs, handhelds and embedded devices.
