Every well-updated system is generally far more secure against cyberattacks than one that is out of date. That's why major corporations also use special patch management solutions. These sophisticated solutions are normally beyond the reach of small companies and private users.

That is precisely what Avira has achieved with its "Antivirus Pro" product. The AV-TEST Award 2019 in the test category of usability for consumer products goes to Avira.
