100% protection on several devices. Avira does what it's supposed to do. But....never seen a worthless customer support like this. Probably a chatbot... Password Manager doesn't work in dark mode on Android. Took me more than a week to explain this problem. Result: they're glad the problem is solved. Well, it is not and this way it will never be.

Does this scan EXTERNAL SD storage? I installed this after I noticed Avast actually did NOT. Now I want to see what this application is doing. Well, I can't. There is a big SCAN button and a progress bar. Well great, but SO? UPDATE In fact the button read 'SMART SCAN'. So Avira considers it 'smart' to scan only half of the storage, 'because it is not necessary anyway'. How ridiculous! Well, that was the only functionality I was interested in actually. And I do not like intrusive nature of this kind of applications anyway. So I have uninstalled it. That's number 2, after Avast.

Hello Kiere, Our app doesn't actively scan your external SD. You are still protected since the scan runs automatically once you access any data on the SD or copy it to your device. Make sure that you activate all security components in the settings.

Awesome ! You guys should bring back the Sd card scanning on next update and fixing avira's phantom vpn so it stops showing it's working, while it's not. ( This happens everytime you switch from a network to another. Verify ur IP when it shows it's running on the same emulated IP than before u switch network, you'll see it doesn't work anymore unless u shut down the app and restart it )
