As well as anti-malware features, Avira Prime includes a VPN, software updater, privacy settings manager, password manager, file shredder, protection against identity theft, and performance-tuning tools. Installation is very straightforward, and the program’s simple interface is easy to navigate and offers a choice of light and dark mode. Safe default settings and sensible alerts are provided.
