Remove Avira

ako · 03. Jul 2011, 10:14 PM

I guess it's time to remove Avira after recent developments of bundelt adware. For XP there has been complaints of MSE using too much resouces. So Avast could be the new choice?

P.S. The wizard does not work for me with FF 5.0

I wouldn't remove it, because the product itself is still very capable. I would remove its Top Pick though.

P.S. Why do we have 2 adware keys now?

This comment was was the security wizard.

P.S. Controversial adware = almost spyware

My comment also applies to the Security Wizard.

BTW, you have to double-click on Firefox 5.

No it wasn't, the same symptoms appear on a clean Firefox profile.

The whole wizard was unvisible.

I'm too using FF6 on WinXP and had to double click to select an option. I'm also using Adblock+.
I feel that Avast should replace Avira since the current top pick is with Avast.

Hello there,

Personally, I use avast! Free Antivirus, because of the excellent features the program holds, as well as for the fact that avast! is the top pick by Gizmo's Freeware.

If you are a PC User who engages high risks, then I suggest that you stick with Avira AntiVir, for the reason that it has proven higher detection rates than any other antivirus program.

Hope this helps!
