- Rated 1 out of 5by Gerald, a year agoKing of false positives. Falsely claims some websites are malicious and there is NO WAY to submit false positives to get this fixed.

- Rated 1 out of 5by Mike R., 3 years agoI removed this add-on because it blocks the Washington Commanders website: www.commanders.com
This is the official website of an NFL team. It doesn't appear to block any other official NFL websites.
I worry that this add-on might be blocking other legitimate websites.
Commanders.com is not a brand new domain, but the Commanders just made that nickname official on Wednesday and redirected the website.
I'm sure it's related to that change, but I still think that Avira needs to correct this, figure out what went wrong and make necessary changes so it doesn't happen again.
I don't know of any other way of reaching Avira, but I'd like an explanation for how something like this can happen.
I'm not a programmer, or a malware expert, but this seems like something that deserves an explanation.
I'd be happy to change my rating and review when this issue is resolved. Until then, I won't use this add-on.
For the record: I don't think that Avira hates the Commanders. The Commanders are not my favorite NFL team. - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 15208777, 3 years ago

- Rated 1 out of 5by Cybersecurity Expert, 4 years agoAvira... If you wanna compete in the market, you need them to have a good experience now ads? Yeah this is a earned one star rating. Fix your bad extension.

-> Nach Installation kommen ständig von Avira vermittelte Werbeeinblendungen. Unglaublich! Und die Deinstallation ist alles andere als trivial - richtig aufwendig. Für mich hat Avira ihren guten Kern - die Datenschutzseele - damit dem Kommerz geopfert. Finde ich sehr traurig. - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 15847201, 5 years agogestern habe ich mich den ganzen tag mit den antivirus pro rumgeschlagen, heute verdirbt mir avira browser safety den tag. lässt sich nicht installiern und wenn doch, nervt es nur herum, weil dann wieder dieses und jenes auf den pc nicht mehr richtig funktioniert. ich lasse davon jetzt die finger weg. es gibt ja noch andere anbieter, die bestimmt besser sind!

- Rated 1 out of 5by Mentat, 5 years agoI created a profiles especially to give this 1-star, this installed-by-default "browser safety" add-on adds ads, referral links and banners on my amazon searches.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Ommeganer, 5 years agoPlötzlich hatte ich kurz nach der Erneuerung meiner Avira-Lizenz bei jeder Produkt-Suche eine nervig zuckende Leiste oben im Browser.
Da muss man erst einmal auf die Idee kommen, dass dies von einem Programm kommt, das man eigentlich installiert hat, um so etwas zu verhindern.
Es ist eine Unverschämtheit ohne gleichen, dass man bei einem teuer gekauften Virenscanner mit Werbe-Popups versorgt wird.
Man kann diese zwar abstellen, aber dazu muss man unnötig Zeit investieren und in Foren nachschlagen, wie das geht.
NIE WIEDER AVIRA! - Ich habe mein Abo umgehend gekündigt. - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 15249635, 6 years agoForcing adds and no easy option to switch it off!
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 15242149, 6 years agoAbout a week ago, it started adding ads to the top of my websites.

posted 6 years agoIn the new version a new optional functionality has been added which provides better deals from secure webshops. This feature can be turned off in the settings at any time. - Rated 1 out of 5by smbhax, 6 years agoStarted creating ads for other games along the top of game listings on the PSN Store site. This violates Mozilla's add-on policies, and I have reported it.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 14607070, 6 years agoThis addon is a disgrace for any antivirus company that is trying to be reputable. After opening Firefox after installing the Avira Antivirus Software, it asked me, wether I wanted to install the Avira Browser Safety Addon. Naivly as I was, I clicked yes.
When I uninstalled the Antivirus Software, I wanted to Uninstall the Avira Addon as well. Sadly this addon was the only one of my many installed addons, which was MISSING the UNINSTALL BUTTON. The button was simply not there! An addon you CAN'T UNINSTALL shouln'd be provided by a company trying to get users to trust them with their savety!Developer response
posted 6 years agoHi,
I assume you are running into this issue on MacOS. You can run the following command in your terminal "sudo rm /Library/Application\ Support/Mozilla/Extensions/\{ec8030f7-c20a-464f-9b0e-13a3a9e97384\}/abs\@avira.com.xpi" to uninstall the extension.

Markus - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 14589086, 6 years agoWhilst using two websites to order goods, the delivery / payment page froze. After enquiring from other 'community' websites I discovered that disabling add-ons on Firefox, - specifically Avira Browser Safety add-on, cleared the frozen screen and I could proceed. However, this makes the browser safety useless, as one has to disable the antivirus Browser Safety to gain access to a payment page - an own goal; the point of browser safety is to not let important information (card details) become easily available. I used Edge browser - no problem found and hence have to use this browser to purchase on these two websites. Both websites are declared 'safe' by Avira. To be fair 99.99% of websites are no problem just two I use for online shopping. Firefox 64.0.2. (64-bit). Windows 10 64-bit. Is this a bug?
