Private customer licenses, because they are much cheaper than the business licenses (especially in a bundle for five computers and three years) and a central administration is not needed due to the lack of suitable infrastructure. Spread over a number of small offices, I have a whole range (50+) of PCs with purchased Avira Pro (private customers) licenses. Then I found an email in my inbox from German blog reader Stefan G., who writes the following.Īvira's latest prank – for Windows 7 users! What sense does it make to replace the purchased Avira Antivirus Pro with some Free product? Without any explanation.Īt this point it was already clear to me then, that not a single user was affected. And we don't want Avira Free Security, we just want to continue using the PAID product! Could be an isolated case, but German blog reader Bernhard confirms this case in a follow-up comment, and that's where things don't just get messy anymore. 29.! (wrong or intentional wrong updates!)Ĭhriscrosser have had Avira Free Antivirus installed on his system, but has received a forced 'upgrade' to Avira Free Security suite. Is probably that the last update included an installation file (for Free security) – if this happens again the next days, I will detect that – or they had a real problem with avira on Jan. – until now everything is running normally again…
…yesterday, Avira installed the "Avira Free Security" without asking, although I hadn't made any settings or changes to avira (Avira Free Antivirus)…Īfter that I restored a backup from 22.01.
German blog reader chriscrosser shared his observations about Avira within this German comment. Users get Avira Free Security suite installed
I got the first messages this morning via e-mail and as comments within my German blog.
