    I just downloaded Avira AntiVir free 9, and ran a full scan.
    During scanning I got a D+ pop up saying avscan.exe is trying to connect to the internet.
    Is this normal?

    That's normal behaviour.Although I'm not 100% sure what it's connecting for I'd guess it's either some form of in the cloud verification or checking that it's using the latest database.
