Avira is supporting the IPv6 protocol with 9 of the 10 download servers for Avira AntiVir Personal – Free Antivirus effective from now on. We are prepared for the future of the Internet now. Since the IPv4 address space will run out of addresses in the not too distant future, this step was logical and necessary in our opinion.

Plenty of products already support IPv6, mostly server-side products. We wanted to add our products and updates to the IPv6 topology to simplify the migration to IPv6 for our customers and to support the ever-growing IPv6-community. The one server that doesn’t support IPv6 is meant as fallback server should something go wrong with a IPv6 client.
