As long as you dont mind intrusive, intimidating, insulting and dishonest
popups from Avira every time you update.

You didnt mind the pop up which showed a thief in the shadows, with the text
telling us that people right now are likely to be stealing your identity,
and using your credit card to fund terrorism and child pornography?

The kind of advertising winfixer would be proud of.

Plus the download servers seem very slow, updates often fail and can
take up to twenty minutes to finish and several attempts.

It certainly does NOT bother me and I don't believe it rises to the level of 'nagware'.

It isnt a popup coming from a browser, but part of the antivir software, on
completion of update it shows you a program screen, which takes up most of
your desktop pimping their paid for products.
