AVG Free

I favour Avira and have had no problems since I changed from AVG which was
my favourite before it bloated itself...
Is there a free version of Avira? I don't need a firewall as I have a
hardward firewall in my home network router. On the site, all I see
is paid version that includes the firewall - am I missing something?

Avira AntiVir® Personal - FREE Antivirus

(The free version won't scan your emails.)
Unless you are using Microsoft Outlook or Lotus Notes (MAPI or VIM),
scanning email is worthless.

Ensure your e-mail program is configured to display e-mail messages in
'Plain Text' only.

Routinely practice Safe-Hex.

Lack of email scanning in the free version is a bit of a killer though (and
yes i have read the articles claiming email scanning to be pointless), it
also doesnt have scheduled scanning in a default installation, and annoying
pop up...
