I have a Avira Antivirus installed on Windows 7. The problem is now when I click on any button or click to uninstall any program it redirects me to the Avira website where it says upgrade it for more than $40. This is the link it redirects me to:

http://www.avira.com/en/latest-threats-lp?x-a-source=AME&x-a-utoken=401b79b897a74b24bf3dd3811238824b4d6b2b58&x-a-medium=5506&x-a-version=5906&x-a-item=framer&cservices=17

How can I fix this?

    Great story. Is there a question in there anywhere? – HopelessN00b May 30 '16 at 06:30

    @HopelessN00b The question was rather strongly implied. – Matt Nordhoff May 30 '16 at 06:42
  • @MattNordhoff There were actually a few possible questions in there which would have made better questions (both in general, and for this site specifically) than "halp my cimputer is borken, how do i fix it??" I was trying to give the OP some credit by not assuming that was his question. My bad. – HopelessN00b May 30 '16 at 06:51
  • What do you mean with "click any button"? Click *any* button in *any* program or webpage? Or click any button in Avira? – Anders May 30 '16 at 08:11
  • @Anders no just clicking any button doesnt matter where. But I asked this question and the problem is immediately resolved itself. – user786 May 30 '16 at 09:03

    I'm voting to close this question as off-topic because this is a problem which can not be reproduced and which according to the OP already resolved itself. – Steffen Ullrich May 30 '16 at 09:50
  • @SteffenUllrich this is the exact same thing the person who created this virus wants:"close this question" – user786 May 30 '16 at 10:11
  • @Alex Looks like a trial period has expired for an AV package. Either uninstall it (and replace!) or buy the software and keep using it. – Matthew May 31 '16 at 08:12

You can try rebooting in safe-mode and uninstall.

Tap F8 during bootup to open Advanced Boot Options, choose safe-mode and go uninstall Avira. That is assuming you have a legacy Avira application and not a virus impersonating it.
