Mac Internet Security X9 vs Avira

While you are at home, you can use one security profile, and then when connected to public internet it can automatically switch over to a more secure profile.

If you know what products you need or want it is nice to have the flexibility to buy the software package that has what you need/ want or rather a package that leaves out what you don't want or need for a lower price tag.

As soon as the software detects malware it can notify you via email.

This is useful if you dual-boot into Windows, as this single program covers both operating systems.

I've used AVG Free in the past, and it seemed to slow my computer more than Avira does.

Optional installs include VPN, System Speedup, a password manager, browser extensions, and a hardened browser.

In the case that you've downloaded the Free Suite (not recomended), you can uninstall the above mentioned additional downloads with Avira's Connect app or any uninstaller utility software. This flexibility to cherry pick your extra software keeps the bloatware down somewhat.
