What version should Avira free be?

I installed it today and it has been updated to v8.1.00.295, but yesterday freewarefiles.com listed a v8.1.0.326. Also, on this notebook, which I'm running all freeware progs as an experiment, I also have Windows Defender (default in Vista) and ThreatFire. Given the lack of anti-spyware capabilities inherent in Avira, are these two apps sufficient? I surf safe but my wife probably can't tell the difference between a fish and a phis! Thank You!

 

Thats a very good free setup I would definatly feel safe with it (Im using the same when helping people who wants a free setup with low resource and cpu impact and. Im just replacing avira with Avast! because I like it more but i do have great trust in avira too)

You could alternativly combine with Opera 9.5 for browsing

My thoughts

 

Avira had quite a big update yesterday boosted performance by about 20% in scanning and made most the program respond like you had nothing on your computer at all. you may want to revisit it.

 

download.com had the 295 version, softpedia had the3261 I reinstalled from softpedia.

 

The version that you listed in the first post is what I have.That's after the large update.

 

Then you need to install from the softpedia site. A moderator on Avira's forum said some of the mirror sites don't have the correct version (.326) as happened to me and to download from Avira's site but near as I could tell it only sens you to the mirrors from there. Anyway, get it here!
