Avira GmbH AntiVir Removal Tool for Windows 3
Introduction
1 Introduction
Avira offers frequent virus definition updates (VDF file) in order to keep its users safe
from new malware outbreaks.
However, there are computer users who do not perform such updates as often as
required and many others who do not use antivirus protection at all.
For all those experiencing the damaging effects of a virus infection, Avira's researchers
have prepared a removal tool, which can be used to eliminate major distinct threats.
The AntiVir Removal Tool Version 3 comes in two versions (German and English)
executable files:
tool_de.com
tool_en.com
The AntiVir Removal Tool does not replace any antivirus solution. You
must install an antivirus product on your system and keep it up-to-date, in
order to ensure your protection.
