Avira Announces Limited-Time Antivirus + Tune Up Bundle

Coinciding with Cyber Security Awareness Month, Avira announced today a bundle offering of its Avira Premium Security Suite with TuneUp Utilities 2010 – an offer of both products for the price of one.

Tettnang, 4 October 2010 – IT security expert Avira today announced a limited-time offer to bundle the security protection of its internationally-acclaimed Avira Premium Security Suite (APSS) with the computer performance and system optimization benefits of TuneUp Utilities 2010. The bundle is priced as two-for-one, making the bundle “double speed + double protection = double value”.

TuneUp Utilities 2010 is an award-winning software utility suite that speeds computer performance, solves a multitude of computer problems and keeps the PC running like new. The TuneUp Utilities 2010 suite (which normally sells for $49.95) is being bundled with Avira’s flagship Avira Premium Security Suite (which normally sells for $53.95) for a combined price of USD $49.95 (two software programs for the price of one).

Avira, with over 100 million users, offers the following tips for speeding up a PC:

1. The most likely reason your computer is running slow is because a virus or spyware snuck onto your computer somehow. You can scan your computer and disable most malware (for FREE) by downloading our AntiVir Removal Tool — which work alongside whatever antivirus software you already have.
2. If your computer is more than a year old, your System Registry has the equivalent of cobwebs. Clean up missing DLLs, invalid file associations, broken shortcuts and other clutter. You’ll need a system optimization utility to do it – like our friends at .
3. To free up more space on your hard drive, run the built-in Windows Disk Cleanup utility to remove unnecessary files. Just type ‘disk cleanup’ in the Start Menu search box and hit enter.
4. Turn off Windows Defender (don’t worry, we’ll protect you). Microsoft tells you how to do it in this tutorial.
