My understanding was that feature is only available in the paid for versions.

It's in the Panda Cloud free AV - http://www.cloudantivirus.com/en/

Now has a new version so you don't need an account to install it (account was free before but you needed to register - now you just run the setup file and it's up & running).

I've just updated to Avira 10 (by selecting repair/update as mentioned above) and then ended up having to manually update the virus definitions.

Anyway, I ran a scan and it told me there were 15 hidden objects (as below) - should I be worried?

No

if you believe you might be infected ~
Download MALWAREBYTES (Make sure you click 'DOWNLOAD LATEST VERSION')

I seem to recall that v9 displayed a popup saying September.

Upgrated to this new version & everything seems to be fine except when i start up i get a warning pop-up stating i'm running Avira with administrator rights & may be a bad thing. Should i just ignore this or what? ta...

How do you know they are false positives?

Good luck with avg then.

Just done the upgrade to version 10. I was on version 9 the free one, but I now notice in the aviria control panel the software is only activated until 1/9/11. So is the free version being dropped after this date?

I think with Vn 9, it had an expiry date that was not as clearly displayed. It did however, auto-renew before the expiry date.

I assume it will be the same with Vn 10.

Yes, that's right, well the bit about the expiry date being hidden.

Just checked mine expires 1/7/10, so a 6mth licence, I've never seen a prompt for renewal, in fact never given it a thought, and I've used it for ages.
