Download Avira AntiVir Personal 9.0.0.386

Viruses and malware are some of the downsides of surfing the web and working with computers in general. Therefore, there are several paid and free solutions to this problem. The free variants are usually less extensive versions of paid solutions from the same manufacturer. This is also the case with Avira, which offers the free-to-use AntiVir Personal. The program protects a Windows system against viruses, adware, spyware and phishing, and is also said to fight rootkits. However, it occasionally shows a screen advertising the paid variant. Recently, version 9.0.0.386 is available with the following list of changes for the 9.x series:
