What do I do if Avira Antivirus detects a threat?

When Avira Antivirus detects a potential threat, it typically offers a series of steps to help users address the issue. First, it is essential to review the details of the detected threat. Avira Antivirus will provide information regarding the type of threat and its potential impact. Users should consider whether the file in question is one they recognize or believe to be legitimate software. If the threat is confirmed and considered malicious, Avira will usually suggest options such as quarantine or deletion of the infected file. Quarantining the file isolates it from the rest of the system, preventing it from causing any damage while allowing users to evaluate it further. Deleting the file removes it entirely from the system. After taking action, it is advisable to run a full system scan to ensure that no other threats are present. This helps maintain overall system security. Additionally, keeping Avira Antivirus updated ensures the latest protection against emerging threats.
