Title: Avira Premium 6 mos Free
Post by: scuzzy on May 22, 2008, 12:23 hrs
Avira Antivirus often gets high reviews. The premium version is available through this link (https://license.avira.com/en/promotion-t0q1aatr05zwftftgnqr) with a 6 month trial. A renewal is ââ??¬ 19.95.

If you only require a basic antivirus package, then take a look at Avira Personal (http://www.free-av.com/), which is always free of charge.

Do you happen to anythig about file size?  I just upgraded from AVG 7 to 8 and the file size tripled to 46k.
I also didn't see anything on the site about updating the Free version.  Are you using it now?

I'm not using Avira, but I wanted to pass this on to everyone.

I know Avira has a strong following and performs exceptionally well. But since it's not currently installed on any of my systems, I can't answer about the file size.

As far as updating the Free Version, are you referring to the signature updates? As I recall, it was not much different from AVG.

I was asking about virus definitions.  AVG updates every day.

I believe Avira's updates are also daily. I haven't used it in awhile, so I don't exactly remember.
