Avira AntiVir Free 9.0 Available For Download

by malwarekilla on March 18, 2009

Avira AntiVir 9.0 is available for download via Download.com.  AntiVir free now includes AntiSpyware and AntiAdware!!!

Per download.com:

…There’s new scanning tech that can crack open “locked” files and verify that they’re not malicious, along with improved internal security to prevent AntiVir’s files from being maliciously altered. AntiVir 9 also offers a rebuilt heuristic detection engine, and according to Tony Anscombe, director of consumer products for Avira, Download.com reader comments have been the impetus for the new one-click threat removal option–no more baby-sitting the scans…

Grab your download of Avira AntiVir 9 here!!!

@f
Sorry dude but it still has the notifier thing and id guess that they made it unbreakable, but im not sure. Whats cool though is that it has antispyware and antiadware that is a great upgrade in my eyes for a free product. I am using Comodo internet security because of its prevention ability. I dont need a great scanner because I have mbam and sas as well as the CIS antivirus. But it is your personal choice. You cant go wrong with either choice.

yes promotions well work. i have a promotion for 6 months that i got in January and the program updated to version 9, but i m not 100% sure they will work on a new install.

I think that the main good news is that now the free version has the same detection as the Premium versions and that will convince many people that Avira is much better than AVG and Avast.

I wonder why ppl even use AVG when both avast! and now AVIRA are far superior.

@f
It still has its advert however, it can still be blocked by the previous methods. If not I have blocked it in CIS (Defence + and firewall only).

RejZOR March 18, 2009 at 8:46 pm

AVG is far superior to Avira and Avast. No doubt about it.

Best Free Antivirus + antispyware(new) + adware(new) :)

Better than Avast and Avg.

My combination

NICE!!! i have 3 months left on my licenses…definitely switching to free version

Promotions works great.

The new AVira looks greater, altough the designe remais simple.

Anyway on “Product About” it says that the detection engine is 8.0XXXX version.
Does it have changed ? Or it´s just a “designe” upgrade ? (I mean for PREMIUM users).

Hello Matt!
Can you make a review of a new Avira Free version 9 for us?
Thanks in advance.

Hey RejZoR, I think someone’s trying to pretend to be you :O

Have a look at the comment from ‘RejZOR’

lol

Another thing I like about it is when doing a full pc scan it won’t popup when it first finds a virus (meaning you have to sit there until it does), it gives you a popup window at the end with all the infections and a ‘Repair all’ button.

Whenever I try to install this, it just uninstalls the version that I have on the computer, then stops installing, leaving me with no avira and no installer. Does avira’s built in updater install this version?

@everyone – I’m releasing the Avira 9 review this week along with the AVG 8.5 review.

I’m taking off 5 days this week, so I should have plenty of time to crank out some quality reviews.
