Configurable scanning for all known Malware types (viruses, trojans, backdoors, worms, rootkits etc.);
Heuristic detection for both macro and Win32 viruses
You can stay protected even against undiscovered threats, due to the advanced behavior analysis methods, which help identifying and blocking suspicious programs according to code patterns inspection.
Recursive scanning inside archives
In order to check files that are stored in archives, AVIRA makes a real in-depth examination: the nested archives are also unpacked and scanned, level by level. The possibility to freely select the recursion level is also available, optimizing the process speed.
User-friendly graphic interface (optional)
You can use the free additional module TkAVIRA for on-demand scanning tasks
Centralized administration
Using AVIRA Webmin Remote Panel, developed as a Webmin module, you can configure and maintain all AVIRA for Unix installed solutions.
