Software review :

Avira AntiVir PersonalEdition Classic is a freeware antivirus software, very easy to use and designed to offer you a very good antivirus protection - limited only to home users. Being a freeware antivirus it still have a lot of options and features like: permanent virus protection ( the permanent protection is being insured by Virus Guard real time monitoring feature ), the automatic updates of antivirus signatures for this antivirus software ( if you install this antivirus on your system, you will have your antivirus program updated daily by default ), extensive recognition for all types of malware like viruses, worms, Trojans, backdoor programes, rootkits, etc., virus protection assured against known and unknown malware ( this is being done by using the advanced heuristic system ).
Those are only a few options that Avira AntiVir PersonalEdition Classic has to offer to any home user. Other great features/options that worths to be mentioned is the full Vista support, detection of rootkits ( in most of the cases this antivirus is able to remove them ) though, coming with version 7.06.00.270 - Avira AntiVir PersonalEdition Classic has already a nice feature that adds to the antivirus the rootkit protection. You can also schedule the scanner to fully automate the scanning process and the updating process for the antivirus signatures. This program is a free, mature antivirus software that you can rely on it for a good protection of your computer.

Editor's review :

Sometimes we judge things by names, design and so on...It's a complete mistake ( this is my conclusion ). When I've heard for the first time about "Avira AntiVir PersonalEdition Classic" I was a little dissapointed. I didn't downloaded or installed this freeware antivirus program on my computer. I had a bad impression, altough I never had the chance to use it. But this impression was created by his name that has five names. When people are talking about antiviruses are expecting to see small and efficient names like cool antivirus, nice antivirus, super antivirus ( I am giving those names as an example since I do not want to talk about well known antivirus products )...you've got the ideea. I started to digg for any information about this antivirus and I have found that Avira GmbH is a german antivirus software company that uses antivirus applications based on the AntiVir antivirus engine that was launched for the first time in 1988. There are alot of additional informations about this product available on the Internet.
After this I installed the antivirus and guess what ? Look no further since I found a dependable free antivirus software that is solid, trustworthy, recognized by Microsoft security center, it is loading very fast and so on.Look on the Internet forums and other reviews and you will see that it has an outstanding detection rates and there's alot of positive reviews for this program. I am not giving you any guarantees that it might be the perfect antivirus solution, but it's free and it's more than enough as a free antivirus.

Other notes :

Altough it's very easy to operate and the update process can be set to be done automatically, many users complained about the fact that this free antivirus application is too slow when you are doing a thorough check of all files. Using the smart check will save time since it's faster and if any suspicious files are being found during the smart scan, I personally recommend to use a thorough check of all files. Also you should never install more than one antivirus program on your system. Doing so, it may crash your system, slowing down your computer or it may reduce the level of protection for your computer. You may combine this antivirus with a full and free anti malware software like Ad-Aware from Lavasoft or SpyBot Search & Destroy. When combined with other antiviruses ( this may not work with certain antivirus programs ) we observed better detection rates. It is more difficult to spell the entire name of this antivirus software so his antivirus is also searched under the name of "Avira Antivirus".
