AntiVir Personal Edition 9.0.0.452

Rated 10/50 by Chef'Bob at Mar 11, 2010

I can’t believe that you have never even answered any of my E mails. How in the world do you say you have over 100+ million users but you do not answer any e mails for Tec Support? Please just refund my money… For over 40 years I have giving Seminars to/for all size Companies like, Exxon, Shell, Kroger and many others for the purpose of helping them better their relationship with their Customers. I have never known a Company that needs help as much as your Company does. I do mean this with all due-respect as your Company has a great Product. But as far as your Tec. Support is you are a total failure. I, for the life of me can’t understand why you do not have “live” phone technical support in the US. I have tired for over 10 days to get help and all I get is that my problem has been turned over to the “Proper” department but that is where the help stops. The two most important “Themes” of my Seminars was/is, “Getting Back To Basics and Commutation” I charged $5,000. For 2 hours for these Seminars and I am mot trying to sell you any thing. So this is free. You really need to re-vamp your program. I would just like a refund and purchases a soft ware program for another Company who really cares about Support. Respectfully Submitted, Chef'Bob doubleduce@suddenlink.net P.S. It might be of interest to you that I do talk by E mail to over 250,000 families a day on the internet and what I recommend to them is most important to most Companies.

"Great Anti -Virus!" I really liked the way it scans with very good speed. I prefer Avira user presentation over AVG, AVAST, Symantec and McAfee. Downloading updates is a breeze. Of all the anti-virus, I think AVAST is the fastest of the lot. The Avira slows the systems down a little bit and stops upon detection. I believe Avira is as good as AVG and AVAST in virus detections. I was so hard pressed to find any surprises during scanning.

"Best freeware out there" Free first off, one of the best ones out there to date. Cnet lets anyone rate software. Should implant an IQ test before granting review privileges. Don't let previous posts discourage you from trying Avira. Alot can be said from looking at one's sentence structure. By looking at the previous reviews and the run on sentances I can tell these people are most likely lazy by nature. So if your comp... read more >>

Great detection rates.Fast scans.I have used them all and trust this Free version over all of the other Free or Paid Antivirus programs.I had a 6 Month Free trial of the Paid version and it was also great.I probably will buy it.Saved me many times. Non that I can think of.Sure you get a pop-up sometimes when it updates asking you or offering you to buy the Premium Version but no problem.Just click on it and it goes away and updates.Can't believe some people give such bad reviews just for that. If you want good protection for your computer I would highley recommend this to anyone.Fast scans and even has a Rootkit scan you can use for hidden objects.Has one of the best detection rates for all Antivirus programs.You can google Antivirus detection Rates for Antivirus Programs and check out how high the detection rates are for this.Even though the Free Avira does not have an Email Scanner Trust me.If you get a Virus in and Email it will find it quick anyway.Also if you are using Yahoo email it scans emails with Norton anyway.Sure you get a pop-up sometimes when it updates asking you or offering you to buy the Premium Version but no problem.Just click on it and it goes away and updates.Can't believe some people give such bad reviews just for that.I mean really how long does it take to click on that pop-up to go away.One mouse click is all.

No pros - this is a scam Very hard to remove. Once it is installed you cannot access the web, and you cannot delete or uninstall it using normal means. Antivir and Antivir 2010 are rogue anti-spyware programs that are promoted through the use of fake online anti-malware scanners. When browsing the web you may see a pop-up that states your computer is infected and that you should run an online anti-malware program to scan your computer for infections. If you click on this pop-up you will be brought to a site that shows an advertisement that pretends to be an online anti-malware scanner. At the end of the advertisement, it will state that your computer is infected and that you should download and install Antivir to protect yourself. When Antivir is installed it will be configured to start automatically when Windows starts. Once started it will scan your computer and list numerous infections on your computer, but will not allow you to remove them until you purchase the program. The reality is that the infections it finds are legitimate programs that should not be deleted as it may cause your computer to not run properly. Therefore, please do not purchase this program or act on any of the scan results that are shown.

Totally free and so far effective None to report as of this date I use it on my second loan out laptop and didn't want to pay for the excellent product on my personal laptop so I, trusting other peoples opinion of it have had it on the machine I loan out for a year without problems. What more can you ask of a free product?

The best detection of any antivirus. Norton and Webroot are comparable but you have to pay for those. Avira is free unless you get the paid versions(firewall included,etc.). Avast does have more features even in Avast's free version. Avira gives paid-level protection for free. However, those who want a firewall included with a "web shield", etc., may want to look at Avast's free version. You have to pay for extra protection with Avira. However, Avira does have the best detection rate with the smallest RAM & CPU usage, meaning it is the fastest. Most antivirus firewalls, with the possible exception of Kaspersky, are really not as good as Comodo or Online Armor anyway, and those two are free(paid version available for Online Armor) with world-class protection. Get Avira,Spybot, Online Armor, Spyware Terminator(now it has no spyware), and Peerblock for world-class protection,all bases covered, for free.

"Free is a very good price." It doesn't gobble up a ton of RAM, is easier to use and performs just as well as some others we have used in the past. The daily reminder about upgrading. A very small price to pay and it's gone in a click.

Rated 30/50 by LDRWeber at Feb 14, 2010

it is free It still allows virus in I am so glad that this has worked so well for everyone else. Even using this I still got a really bad virus that crashed my entire system, but considering it was free it works just fine. And who knows, it could have been a whole lot worse if I didn't have it!
