Protecting your computer and the personal data it contains, a bit like buckling your seatbelt before driving, has become a reflex for many Internet users. And we understand why. The more users the Web gains, the more threats and risks there are. Hardly a month goes by without discovering new ransomware or ever more ingenious phishing attempts. Companies remain the main targets of these attacks aimed essentially at extorting funds from them. However, everyone in front of their computer, whether in the office or at home, must remain vigilant. Because these new threats are in fact added to the vast arsenal used by hackers since almost the beginnings of the Internet: viruses, spyware (spyware) and other Trojan horses (trojans), still have the coast and continue to swarm the Web in order to extract money or personal data: banking information to empty an account or login credentials to impersonate an identity on the Web.
To avoid all these mishaps, only one parade: the protection of your computer with an effective tool. And in this field, the security specialist Avira does not lack assets. The German company founded in 1986 has earned a solid reputation with its famous AntiVir antivirus software. Acquired in 2020 by the cybersecurity giant NortonLifeLock, the publisher continues to develop a range of simple, complete and effective tools to ensure the security of computers and the confidentiality of user data. And to claim impressive results: 17 million ransomware attacks prevented each year, 108 million malware attacks and 570,000 phishing attacks blocked on average each month. No matter what device you’re using, PC, Mac, Android or iOS, Avria has the tools to keep it protected.
