i'm using avira's antivir antivirus and i think it's really cool BUT i have a problem. On the main screen it says that my personaledition classic is valid until 28.02.2007 but under that it says that the license will automatically prolonged about 4 weeks before expiration. What does this mean? Cause this programme is freeware i want to use "forever". does this mean that i can use this antivirus until 28.02.2007 or what?

It means your license will be extended around 4 weeks before it expires... in other words, it will NOT expire. Nothing to worry about.

i use the same antivirus software that you use (avira antivir) and you are right it is highly effective. i would not worry about this message as it is impossible to get a everlasting license, instead they get a long term license and renew it (like a contract) around a month before it expires. so basicaly they are just saying that that is the expiry date for there current license and will renew it closer to the expiry date (in other words you can use it for ever if you want)

I have seen this same info with other free programs. I believe it is just a "Legal cover your butt" statement. If the company decides to make it a purchase program it give them a way to avoid lawsuits. This does not mean they will change it, but, gives them a way out of the free program comittment if they desire.
