3.8Installation modules
In a user-defined installation or a change installation, the following installation modules can
be selected, added or removed.
Avira Antivirus Premium
This module contains all components required for successful installation of your Avira
product.
Real-Time Protection
The Avira Real-Time Protection runs in the background. It monitors and repairs, if
possible, files during operations such as open, write and copy in on-access mode.
Whenever a user carries out a file operation (e.g. load document, execute, copy), the
Avira product automatically scans the file. Renaming a file does not trigger a scan by
Avira Real-Time Protection.
Mail Protection
Mail Protection is the interface between your computer and the email server from which
your email program (email client) downloads emails. Mail Protection is connected as a
so-called proxy between the email program and the email server. All incoming emails
are routed through this proxy, scanned for viruses and unwanted programs and
forwarded to your email program. Depending on the configuration, the program
processes the affected emails automatically or asks the user for a certain action.
Rootkits Protection
Avira Rootkits Protection checks whether software is already installed on your computer
that can no longer be detected with conventional methods of malware protection after
penetrating the computer system.
ProActiv
The ProActiv component monitors application actions and alerts users to suspicious
application behavior. This behavior-based recognition enables you to protect yourself
against unknown malware. The ProActiv component is integrated into Avira Real-Time
Protection.
Protection Cloud
The Protection Cloud component is a module for dynamic online detection of still
unknown malware.

server. The data transferred from the web server (HTML files, script and image files,
Flash files, video and music streams, etc.) will normally be moved directly into the
browser cache for display in the web browser, meaning that an on-access scan as
performed by Avira Real-Time Protection is not possible. This could allow viruses and
