Cool Features:
Webroot uses a unique method for cloud detection. It relies on the cloud to not touch safe programs and attack dangerous programs. The unique feature is if Webroot finds an unknown program it pauses any irreversible actions such as transmitting private data and it monitors all actions taken by the program. Meanwhile a combination of automated systems and real human experts back at Webroot Headquarters analyze the questionable program. If the human experts determine there is danger then your local Webroot utility will take action on the dangerous program. Furthermore it will reverse actions taken in its logs in an attempt to undo the damage. Webroot states that it can take between 45 and 90 minutes for a decision to be made on a questionable programs by human analysis. For this reason removing all viruses is not instant but is quite useful that professionals will help you behind the scenes. See other features at webroot.com.

Business / Endpoint Info:
Avira Antivirus for Small Business can handle 3 to 10,000 computers on your network. The all-in-one package protects PCs, servers, and email. Control license management, reporting, and deployment from the Avira Connect online dashboard. The PC and Server Security defends against phishing attempts, infected websites, fake shopping carts, and suspicious downloads. The Exchange Security feature handles spam, phishing, and email-oriented viruses. With Exchange Security you can schedule reports on quarantined emails, configure white and blacklisting rules, control administrative permission levels, and enforce filtering policies in straightforward fashion. In general this product does not require you to be an IT genius to run it. Avira designed this to be easy to set up and requires minimal expertise to operate. Virus definition updates are streamlined automatically and swiftly to your devices (mobile and PC). Corporate customers get gold-level phone and email support from the business service team. |
Business / Endpoint Info:
Webroot has a super cool feature where you can test out a live demo of the Endpoint Protection in action on their website without downloading or installing anything. It features a web-based dashboard that will notify you of any viruses on any computers in the network. Control every aspect of the software from the Policies tab. I counted 150+ settings available to be customized in the Policies tab alone. Some of these settings include advanced heuristics, popularity heuristics, operating background functions using fewer CPU resources, enabling or disabling enhanced rootkit detection, favor low memory usage over fast scanning, and more. Organize the computers on the network by groups like Human Resources and Programmers for example. Easily generate reports showing user computers with threats on them. Webroot is not shy to take on competitors. Their website claims to write, open, and close files 16x faster than Microsoft. They also claim to use 20x less memory than McAfee. Impressive numbers. |

Avira can identify Decep, Auslogics, ATRAPS, Elex, Sefnit, Crypt.XPACK, Dropper, FusionCOre, and Crypt.ZPACK to name a few. |
