That Avira is rated on par with some paid versions, it has the best detection out of the popular free versions Avast, Comodo and AVG. There is one annoying thing about the free Avira is that popup window which free users have to put up with.
This is how to get rid of it for good. The workaround is for vers 9 but it works for 10
