Avira Version 2013
Release Information
The First Release, moving Avira from System to User Security
This release starts the transition toward a user centric view of the security. Until now, we always exclusively protected devices. Now we protect also user’s social networks and we emphasize the importance of the parental control for protecting the children from online dangers. Starting with this release, we will no longer have the year as part of the product name: e.g. Avira Antivirus Premium 2012, Avira Internet Security 2012 etc. The products are called the same but the version in the name is gone. This allows us to perpetually release versions of the products without having to do GUI changes in the products.
New integrations and improvements 1. Integration of Social Networks
With the Social Networks feature, you can monitor your children‘s activities online. The Social Networks technology checks their social network accounts for comments, photos etc. that may influence your child‘s reputation in a negative way or may indicate that your child is in danger. The menu on the left side opens a page in the product which contains links to the SocialShield website. The links will open in the default browser of the system.
2.
Enhanced Child Protection
With the Safe Browsing feature, you can assign a role to each Windows user on your computer. For every role, you can define which URLs or categories of Internet content should be allowed or denied, as well as daily surfing periods or time limits. The old Child Protection of Avira version 2012 which contains URL categorization and Internet access control is now a separated feature. It still depends on Web Protection to be active, but it has its own menu entry.
