Avira Premium Security Suite
12
4.3 Installation modules
In a user-defined installation or a modification installation, the following installation
modules can be selected, added or removed.
– Premium Security Suite
This module contains all components required for successful installation of Avira
Premium Security Suite.
– AntiVir Guard
The AntiVir Guard runs in the background. It monitors and repairs, if possible,
files during operations such as open, write and copy in on-access mode.
Whenever a user carries out a file operation (e.g. load document, execute, copy),
Avira Premium Security Suite automatically scans the file. Renaming a file does
not trigger a scan by AntiVir Guard.
– AntiVir ProActiv
The ProActiv component monitors application actions and alerts users to
application behavior typical of malware. This behavior-based recognition enables
you to protect yourself against unknown malware. The ProActiv component is
integrated into AntiVir Guard.
– AntiVir MailGuard
MailGuard is the interface between your computer and the email server from
which your email program (email client) downloads emails. MailGuard is
connected as a so-called proxy between the email program and the email server.
All incoming emails are routed through this proxy, scanned for viruses and
unwanted programs and forwarded to your email program. Depending on the
configuration, the program processes the affected emails automatically or asks
the user for a certain action. In addition, the MailGuard can reliably protect you
against spam emails.
– 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 scans 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.
– AntiVir Rootkit Protection
AntiVir Rootkit Protection 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 in the
context menu of the Windows Explorer (right-hand mouse button). Scan selected
files with AntiVir. With this entry you can directly scan files or directories.
