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"

God knows what, eg tracking your typing and sending it to Russia?

The company used Symantec for a while and it would sometimes pop up a
message if it detected a virus and quarantined it. Then they switched to
ESET. That pops up a message that basically says it's still on the job.
The good part is it hasn't quarantined anything I was trying to use.

ESET doesn't send key logs to Russia. It sends them to Slovakia.
