Whether you are using Avira AntiVir Premium or Avira AntiVir Personal Free Antivirus in the Avira Security Suite, you can turn off an Avira tool with basic manual steps. Avira is an anti-virus tool that protects your computer from viruses, worms, Trojans and dialers. For that reason, it is important to have its real-time protection running at all times. Yet, if you need to disable Avira, ensure that it is only temporarily or you have another anti-virus tool running.
