Isnt Avira a real AV?, i guess this was a imitation Yes Avira is a legitimate anti-virus program. The other day where I was working they had a website pop up from antiviravailable.com which showed a page that looked like a genuine Windows type of virus scan reporting several infections. It is not a wonder some get sucked in and then install the crap. |

| 1180333 | 2011-02-22 07:50:00 | Yes Avira is a legitimate anti-virus program. Actually Avira is the company, and they produce AntiVir which is their AV program. The fake AV is called "AntiVira Av" and can be seen in the screenshots here: www.bleepingcomputer.com |
