In my personal studies I have recently found this article http://www.pcworld.com/reviews/product/290836/review/antivir_personal.html which shows the results of PC World’s review of free antivirus software. I love Avira, though PC World does indicate that Cloud Antivirus by Panda may be better. As to the pop up, which some found annoying, one can either use AutoHotKey to kill it or Process Lasso as I write on http://joe-personalstudies.blogspot.com/2010/01/antivir-pop-up.html. And of course there are other methods that I have found here on this site that seemed a lot more elaborate.

The free Antivir Personal Edition Classic does not detect maleware/spyware as is stated on their site here http://www.free-av.com/en/products/1/avira_antivir_personal__free_antivirus.html.
“The only features that the free version may lack is *fully* automatic updating (which however can be configured in the program to be automatic) and e-mail scanning” is not an accurate statement. This is why you can NOT go by test of the full versions to rate the free version.
I have tested it and it did not detect some worms or trojans that it sees as maleware/spyware. The free version of AVG did detect the same malware. Antivir is decent but it misses malware that AVG free detects.

antivir personal edition classic’s shortcomings:
It doesn’t provide: (from official website)
(1)Protection against spyware and adware
(2)Special protection against email viruses(POP 3) (3)Protection against annoying adware
(4)WebGuard to surf and download safely (5)Antispam and proactive antiphishing

Any idea?

Delete the nag screen from your Avira program directory. Mine is C:\Program Files\Avira\AntiVir PersonalEdition Classic. Once in the directory,find the “Notifier” with the umbrella logo and delete it. I forgot the exact name of the file but it should be something like “Avira Notifier.” That will take care of the nag screen that comes up when you start your computer. Deleting it will not have any negative effect on your AntiVir PersonalEdition Classic or your system. Hope this helps guys. Enjoy the great virus software without the nag screen!

During test Avira didn’t find more but actually less than other AV scanners. It identified a virus and a trojan correctly but missed a spy ware programme. Now spy ware is not a virus but other A/V scanners(except Zone Alarm) found it.
The most annoying part is their next to non-existent customer service and we’re talking the paid for version here. They refer you to their discussion forums and ask you to run Highjack this and post the log. My question is: Do they really think that a system admin is allowed to publish the config of the computers of the company he’s working for? I don’t think so.

How well does this work with Outlook/Exchange? AVG has an Outlook plugin that works well (but inserts a nag in all mail messages). I’m concerned that with on-access scanning, AntiVir might decide to quarantine my entire “.pst” Outlook mailstore just because I get emailed a virus.

Most people “in the know” that I have spoken with don’t share your concern about pop e-mail service and Avira. If the guard scanner is set to detect on both read and write any “nasty” will get caught before it can do anything anyway. At any rate I tossed Norton about a year ago and have never looked back. In fact I can say from experience that Avira is more effective than even Norton’s most expensive corporate and server versions. I’ve had to help out a few cube-mates at work get rid of things that happily resided on a Norton protected system at work. Avira detected them and dealt with them.

I am installing Avast because Avast is Vista ready whereas Antivir isn’t. Using Vista comes with a lot of disadvantages because not many softwares are ready for Vista yet.
