Avira Antivir scans for and removes viruses and other malicious programs
Avira Antivir Personal is an anti-virus scanner for Windows that costs nothing to download and install.
Installation is simple but requires registration with a valid email address. There is an option to sign up for the Avira newsletter but it is not selected by default.
Antivir will automatically search for and download updates as soon as it is installed and then run a quick scan of the computer.
The overview page shows that the software is active and the most recent updates that have been installed. It can also be used to start a full scan of the computer.
Antivir is always working in the background, even if a full scan isn't under way and uses heuristic scanning to catch viruses that have not been formally identified yet.
Viruses can be deleted or moved to a quarantine area.
