Quote from the website - Parallel to the new AntiVir
PersonalEdition Premium there is still as a matter of course the popular
and known cost-free AntiVir PersonalEdition freeware. Only the name and
the colour are new: The cost-free virus protection is called as AntiVir
PersonalEdition Classic now. For a better distinction, the "family name"
AntiVir PersonalEdition was supplemented with the "first name" Classic
