Avira Protection Cloud Description

Considering that new threats arrive on the scene every day and having your computer connected to the Internet might require you to raise your security level to the cloud, you will surely need to protect your personal information and documents against virus attacks, Trojans and other threats lurking on the Internet using proper apps. Avira Protection Cloud proves to be a steady and reliable solution when it comes to scanning your computer and detecting if any malware is presented into your PC, thus stopping it before it spreads and infects other users. Each time you enable the ‘Protection Cloud’ feature, the digital fingerprint of suspicious files is checked against virus data in the cloud. This way, you can rest assured that if an unknown file is detected, it will be scanned, then classified as clean or infected. However, you don’t need to worry about all your private data since your files will not be uploaded to cloud. One important aspect is that Avira Protection Cloud will upload only executable files. After upload, these files are analyzed accordingly. In case the same file is detected on another computer, it will not be uploaded because it already exists in the program’s database. When you launch Avira Protection Cloud for the first time, it will immediately scan your files and will display the results within seconds. Still, you need to make sure that your PC is connected to the Internet, otherwise the program won’t be able to perform any scanning process. At the end of the cloud scanning process, the application will display a report that includes all the necessary information about all the files. What’s more, the exchange of files between the user’s PC and the cloud database is encrypted, so no third parties are able to view and inspect your uploaded data. To conclude, Avira Protection Cloud comes in handy for users who need to scan their computer for potential threats and secure their important information effortlessly.
