How do I manage settings of the new Avira? After this update of Avira Antivirus into "Avira Security", the interface seems to be completely changed. The only thing resembling a settings button is the cogwheel at the top right, and all it gives me is a menu to change language (lol).

There are some options that resemble settings in the security tab, which are a far cry from the settings of Avira Antivirus. Going into Security> Protection Options, all I can see are four slider options: Real-time protection, web protection, e-mail protection and ransomware protection. And they are all turned on and greyed out! What's more, staying at that tab for long enough removes their grey-out and turns them off automatically. Is this a bug or something? This new interface seems extremely shady

  I think what they're looking for is where the old "Advanced Settings" were moved to. I had to dig to find them. Go to Security -> Protection Options -> click the "gear" icon next to real-time protection.
