Not particular to Avira, but how do you know it does the job? Unless
you have some obvious virus that pops up and says "Death star 2016"
or similar, how do you know there isn't a virus there that's doing
God knows what, eg tracking your typing and sending it to Russia?

I had Avast do a boot scan immediately after install and update . Pretty
sure I'm clean and safe . Avast has been pretty good at catching the nasties
, used it for several years and now I'm not so sure it was the cause of some
of the problems I was having .
