– AntiVir WebGuard
When surfing the internet, you are using your web browser to request data from
a web server. The data transferred from the web server (HTML files, script and
image files, Flash files, video and music streams, etc) will normally be moved
directly into the browser cache for display in the web browser, meaning that an
on-access scan as performed by AntiVir Guard is not possible. This could allow
viruses and unwanted programs to access your computer system. WebGuard is
what is known as an HTTP proxy which monitors the ports used for data transfer
(80, 8080, 3128) and checks the transferred data for viruses and unwanted
programs. Depending on the configuration, the program may process the affected
files automatically or prompt the user for a specific action.
– Avira Firewall
Avira Firewall controls communication to and from your computer. It permits or
denies communications based on security policies.
– Rootkit Detection
The Rootkit Detection checks whether software is already installed on your
computer that can no longer be detected with conventional methods of malware
protection after penetrating the computer system.
– Shell Extension
The Avira Premium Security Suite Shell Extension generates an entry Scan
selected files with AntiVir in the context menu of the Windows Explorer (right-
hand mouse button). With this entry you can directly scan files or directories.
