Some people are playing Pokémon Go out of nostalgia, others are playing it just to see why this game is so damn popular, and others are playing it to get some free security software from Avira.

You’ve read that right! Security company Avira is giving away free software to Pokémon Go players. But only to those who are up to the challenge. What is this challenge you talk about? Well, it’s like this...

Avira’s Pokémon Go Challenge

There’s a PokéGym outside Avira’s HQ in Tettnang, Germany. Avira is challenging you to go and take it over. If you manage to do that, Avira will reward you with an Avira Antivirus Pro key.

For anyone who is currently using Avira Free Antivirus, switching to Avira Antivirus Pro comes with several benefits.



Please note that this offer applies to the first 50 Pokémon Go trainers who take over the gym, take a screenshot to prove it, share the screenshot on social media, and send an email to contest@avira.com.

If you can’t manage to take over the PokéGym outside Avira’s HQ, there’s something else you can win: an Avira T-shirt. Catch a Pokémon in front of Avira’s umbrella logo sculpture, share it online, and then go to the front desk inside Avira’s building to claim your prize.


A closer look at Avira Antivirus Pro

Avira Antivirus Pro packs a lot of security features: protects against viruses, Trojans, and worms; scans unknown files in real-time to protect against malware and exploits; protect your unsecured, non-encrypted email traffic; repairs damage caused by malware; proactively blocks malicious and phishing websites; and more.
