    1. Web protection (aka WebGuard) not exist in Avira free.
    2. The web protection in another thing than Avira Browser Safety (ABS) which is available for free in chrome add-ons and firefox. :)
    End of thread hijack. ;)

    Above all, it depends on the User's Experience.
    That's why EmsiSoft ranked 3rd worst; just ahead of Sophos and Microsoft. ;)

    To be more precise: The webguard of Avira Pro adds content scanning (like malicious java script, malicious download during transfer) to the mix while ABS (the browser extension) is bringing cloud-based URL blocking regardless of encrypted connections and Anti-Tracking to the board.

    Free doesn't do webguard, but for pro adding ABS on top of webguard actually does make a lot of sense.

    This is most likely a conflict with some left over from other AVs or another security software...

    If you want to investigate the problem it would be better to post on the Avira thread on this forum...

    Do you have a link to there forum Osaban?I would appreciate it.

    If you go back and re-read what Osaban recommended, you'll notice that he said the "Avira thread on THIS forum" (here at Wilders).
