AntiVir PersonalEdition Classic

Avira is a German antivirus software company. Its antivirus applications are based on the AntiVir antivirus engine, first launched in 1988. It was called "H+BEDV Datentechnik GmbH" when it was founded. One of the antivirus software, AntiVir PersonalEdition Classic, is free for personal usage. On the icon a stylized opened umbrella is shown.

AntiVir PersonalEdition Classic is freeware. This application is for personal usage only. Like most antivirus software, it scans disk for viruses and also runs as a background process, checking each opened and closed file. It also performs Internet updates (daily by default) in which it opens a window, with an advertisement suggesting the user to purchase AntiVir PersonalEdition Premium. Its abilities have been updated in the most recent build at the time of writing (244), making it possible to detect and possibly remove rootkits.
