Avira Free Antivirus (new name) 12.0.0.855
http://www.avira.com/en/support-down...free-antivirus
After uninstalling the previous version,
you can run this Avira Registry Cleaner:
http://www.avira.com/en/support-down...egistrycleaner
to remove the last entries created by Avira (5?).
Thereafter you can install the new version.
AVnotify tries to show a commercial after an update as before,
but I was able to block this in my firewall (free).
The messages about being "loaded" cannot be supported by me.
The previous version asked for a "Ask Toolbar" to be installed,
but after three (3) times refusing, that comes to an end.
In this version I have not seen a request to install the Ask Toolbar.
P.S. during the install of Avira, I took care to remove selections to
install "inappropriate" software.
