Avira Internet Security 2012
This module contains all components required for successful installation of your Avira
product.
Avira Realtime Protection
The Avira Realtime 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 Realtime Protection.
Avira 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 Realtime
Protection.

forwarded to your email program. Depending on the configuration, the program
processes the affected emails automatically or asks the user for a certain action. In
addition, the Mail Protection can reliably protect you against spam emails.

server. The data transferred from the web server (HTML files, script and image files,

browser cache for display in the web browser, meaning that an on-access scan as
performed by Avira Realtime Protection is not possible. This could allow viruses and
