Varberg council is using Avira in all the 5,000 workplaces in the council. Varberg council har chosen a joint solution where Avira scans for virus on both desktops, servers, Exchange server, and Sharepoint. This has meant administrative advantages for Varberg council - Avira's solutions are a cross-platform product with central management, which naturally also protects the mobile units. Avira's strength and competence compared to the competitors shows in the fact Avira is the antivirus system with the highest recognition rate for viruses, as well as in the fact that using Avira will not slow down the organization's system. This in combination makes Avira the world's most efficient and best virus-protection.

For Varberg council, the switch to Avira has meant a vast improvement on several points. Avira has focused on making their antivirus program as compact as possible. Apart from being the most efficient and best virus-protection, the program has been a small revolution for users and administrators alike:

”Before choosing Avira, we researched the market thoroughly for solutions that were able to maturely and efficiently meet our needs. We had great expectations, and since we started using Avira, we have experienced a remarkably satisfying performance. Start-up, execution, and management of PC's enable us to use our hardware much more and much more efficiently than what we've otherwise been used to. Before, logging in to a computer could take up to 10-12 minutes - since uninstalling the previous system and letting Avira take over, start-up only takes less than a minute," says Peter Börjesson, TeamLeader for Server & Infrastructure Group in Varberg council.
