Hi.
I'm new to using Avira.
If a virus got *allowed* by other anti-virus, does Avira gonna allow that virus too ? Or Avira still scan normally then spot the virus ?
( Sorry for my bad english)

  Hello Lae varde,

  Unfortunately, we cannot fully understand your question.
  Please only install one scanner at a time, see:
  Is it a bad idea to install multiple antivirus programs in parallel? – Official Avira Support | Knowledgebase & Customer Support | Avira

  Avira performs a scan and reports suspicious files, malware and viruses. You decide what to do next. Allowing a detected virus to run again without checking it is a questionable decision!
  Avira scans your system, detects viruses and will proceed according to your settings and will secure your system and not allow any viruses.
  You can then have suspicious files tested again by the Avira Virus Lab.
  How do I submit suspicious files and URLs to Avira Virus Lab? – Official Avira Support | Knowledgebase & Customer Support | Avira

  Here you will find information, descriptions of viruses and malware:

  If something is still unclear, please let us know, we will be pleased to help.

  Many greetings and have a nice weekend

  I have Window Defender and Avira Anti Virus.
  I changed to Avira after Window Defender have too many false alarm.
  Back when I still using Window Defender, I have allowed many Threats/Files.
  Now my question is ,does Avira scan everything including those threats/file that Window Defender has allowed ?
  And if those was bad/virus will Avira remove those even when Window Defender allowed those file to stay ?
  Sorry for the trouble.
