Avira Protection Cloud is a user friendly utility that scans your computer using its state-of-the-art latest technologies available. It offers protection based on the most current malware information at all times, not just when your antivirus software downloads virus definitions. It matches the files accessed by your computer against the fingerprints of files stored in the cloud. The more scanning is done in the cloud, the lesser the processing power is required by the antivirus application. When Virus Lab has access to unknown files at an earlier stage, it can classify them sooner and with more sophisticated analysis systems.

In order to join the Avira Protection Cloud, simply install the Protection Cloud client. Next download and install the Protection Cloud client from the Avira Beta Center. Start the scan by clicking the corresponding button. Fingerprints of all suspicious files are sent to the Protection Cloud for real-time inspection. Executables are instantly identified as clean, infected or unknown. Suspicious unknown executables are uploaded for detailed automatic analysis. You can then view the scan results anytime in the application interface.

It also offers access to Avira’s super computing malware analysis grid and gets the best Avira detection ever. It prevents false positives as it can classify unknown files at an earlier stage. It can also serve as a central point to observe through out its user base.
