Hello:

While the Avira AntiVir Personal/Free Edition web site does not have a page
showing the systems requirements that I can find, I have downloaded the PDF
manual for AntiVir Free at:
http://www.free-av.com/documents/products/pdf/en/man_avira_antivir-personal_en.pdf .

This manual states under systems requirements:

"- Operating system
- Windows 2000, SP4 and update rollup 1 or
- Windows XP, SP2 (32 or 64 Bit) or
- Windows Vista (32 or 64 Bit, SP 1 recommended)
- Windows 7 (32 or 64 Bit)"

So Avira seems to be saying that it still does support Win 2K for now.

And while the systems requirements page for AntiVir Premium at:
http://www.avira.com/en/products/avira_antivir_premium_3.html does say it
supports "Windows 2000, SP4 and Update Rollup 1", it also states "Note:
Windows 2000 won't be supported any longer as of 13 July 2011."

Cheers,
Jerry
