Avira Professional Security Howto

Avira ProActive is a new behavior based detection technology developed by Avira
which has been integrated since version 10. ProActive protects your computer
against new and unknown malware that hasn‘t been detected yet by virus definitions
and heuristics.
Avira ProActive monitors the system in real time and detects attacks as soon as they
are started. Sensors are continuously supervising the system and look for unusual
behavior. The ProActive component uses rule sets in order to identify malicious behavior.
These rule sets have been developed by the Avira Malware Research Center
and are constantly provided with new data by the Avira data base.
Avira ProActive sends information about detected suspicious programs to the data
base. You have the possibility to deactivate this data transfer to the Avira data base.
In case a program shows a malicious behavior, it is treated and reported just as malware.
Note
The ProActive Technology is not yet available for 64 bit systems
The Mail Protection is needed if you receive and send your emails via POP3, SMTP
or IMAP.
