Avira is one of the biggest players in the security software market, with products that rely on a robust scan engine to protect a user's computer. Aside from security tools, Avira also focuses on performance optimization, providing software solutions that can scan a system for errors and enhance its overall performance. The Avira Optimization Suite combines products from both these categories, delivering the Avira Antivirus Pro and the Avira System Speedup, working together to keep a PC protected and increase its speed.

Avira Optimization Suite deploys the Avira Connect tool, a simple product management platform that enables users to launch installed applications, manage all their devices, and download additional Avira products. As such, one can open both Avira Antivirus Pro and Avira System Speedup from the tray menu or the main window of Avira Connect.

The widely-known Avira Antivirus Pro is one of the two main pieces of the Avira Optimization Suite. It provides real-time protection so that users rest assured that no threat reaches their computers. Custom scans are also available so users can analyze any folder on their computer if they suspect it is infected.

Additionally, it features firewall, web and e-mail protection, scanning URLs and received email messages to detect potentially dangerous content. Thanks to the integrated scheduler, one can configure periodical scans and create reports.

Moving further to the other component, Avira's System Speedup makes it possible for users to assess the system's status and take action to optimize its performance. To do so, it removes junk files and registry errors that might affect the computer's speed.

Moreover, it includes a boot optimizer, which reduces the time needed for the machine to start. There are a plethora of additional tools to help users manage files and duplicates, defragment hard drives, diagnose the system, manage processes and services, and many more.

The Avira Optimization Suite promises to deliver peak performance and ultimate antivirus protection together in a single product, saving users from downloading the two applications separately.

The advantage is that the user obtains two standalone products with a single download, and can obtain the full versions of both applications with a single purchase.
