The competition for the best free Windows security suite just got a lot more intense, as Avira returns to the field with its
second major revamp in as many years of its flagship free antivirus and paid upgrades.
Available exclusively from Download.com today,
Avira Free Antivirus 2013, along with the paid upgrades
Avira Antivirus Premium 2013 and
Avira Internet Security 2013, greatly expand the kinds of protection that Avira offers.
Avira wouldn't reveal a precise number of people who use the suite, but
Opswat puts them at around 12.1 percent of the worldwide Windows market. Travis Witteveen, Avira's head of marketing, said during a visit to the CNET offices that Opswat's math was "very close" to the actual number of people using Avira. That's a jump of
2.8 percent since Q1 2012.
