3. Unknown program files are uploaded to the Avira Protection Cloud for analysis.
4. At the beta stage, each uploaded file is scanned inside the Avira Protection Cloud using the latest technologies.
5. Once the uploaded files have been scanned in the Cloud, the Technical Preview Client displays all available results.
