Anyone who uses Avira Antivir with WebGuard, please discuss an issue outlined in this topic.
In basics, for WebGuard to do its job, it intercepts all our TCP/UDP data transmission sessions.
This alerted me that IF Avira WebGuard has failed (for some reason) to detect a malware/spyware or any security-risk software, and that downloaded software attempts to access a certain IP or website, the WebGuard will freely allow its connection to the destination - then letting the malicious S/W to transmitt personal information to the attacker.
There was a discussion similar to my situation at Avira Forum;

By the way, I do not use third-party firewall since I'm behind a NAT environment, except Windows Firewall.
How do you think of this issue?
Thank you for your interest
