    For those that have Avira's Antivir, everytime it updates, you get that nagging ad that tells you to upgrade to Premium. I can understand if it pops up every month or so but every day after every update? The same ad over and over again? Stoneface.

    If anyone has a fix, tweak for this that actually works, please inform me and the rest of us. Thanks in advance.

    Well its not flawless, sometimes I got an alert during the update process about the executable possibly being compromised (since the updater cannot access it (denied access)) and you might get random alerts about not having permissions to access it.
