Which URL no longer exists? Try http://www.antivir.de where you will
find links to their business and personal products. That is the link I
have always successfully used, but while looking for an answer for you,
I found that H+BEDV spun off their personal products as a separate
company in August 2004 and that resulted in some changes in their
websites. Here's the "short" answer :)

If you are looking for just the free version (now called "Classic"), go
to http://www.free-av.de/ (in German) or http://www.free-av.com/
(English). AFAIK these last two links have always existed.

The pay version (now called "Premium") has a new feature this year,
adware/spyware scanning. The English language link for this is
http://www.antivir-pe.de/en/produkte/antivir_personaledition/index.html.
It now has adware/spyware detection (do we have that in Linux yet?)

If you also need business solutions, go to the very first URL I mentioned.

To add some more confusion, www.antivir.com is a completely different
company, Avast, in the  Czech Republic. It uses its own detection
engine, and does not seem to offer a Linux version.
