alternatively suspect documents are only reported, i.e. you receive an alert. This
option is enabled as the default setting and is recommended.
Advanced Heuristic Analysis and Detection (AHeAD)
enable AHeAD
Your Avira program contains a very powerful heuristic in the form of Avira AHeAD
technology, which can also detect unknown (new) malware. If this option is enabled,
you can define how "aggressive" this heuristic should be. This option is enabled as the
default setting.
Low detection level
If this option is enabled, slightly less unknown malware is detected, the risk of false
alerts is low in this case.
Medium detection level
This option is enabled as the default setting if you have selected the use of this
heuristic.
High detection level
If this option is enabled, significantly more unknown malware is detected, but there are
also likely to be false positives.

ProActiv
Avira ProActiv protects you from new and unknown threats for which there are not yet any
virus definitions or heuristics available. ProActiv technology is integrated into the Realtime
Protection component and observes and analyzes the program actions performed. The
behavior of the program is checked against typical malware action patterns: Type of action
and action sequences. If a program exhibits behavior typical of malware, this is treated as
a virus detection : You have the option of blocking the program or ignoring the notification
and continuing to use the program. You can classify the program as trusted and add it to
the application filter for permitted programs. You have the option of adding the program to
the application filter for blocked programs using the
Always block
command.
The ProActiv component uses rule sets developed by the Avira Malware Research Center
to identify suspicious behavior. The rule sets are supplied by Avira databases. Avira
ProActiv sends information on any suspicious programs detected to the Avira databases
for logging. You have the option of disabling data transmission to the Avira databases
Note
ProActiv technology is not yet available for 64 bit systems!
