Avira Free Antivirus 2015 is not available for Linux distributions. No new licenses are being granted for Avira Free Antivirus Linux, and the Avira Linux product will be terminated by June 30, 2016 for prior existing users. You're a beginner with Ubuntu, so you probably are not a prior existing user of Avira Free Antivirus Linux.

In its place you can install ClamTk from the Ubuntu Software Center. ClamTk is a GUI front-end for ClamAV, which is a command-line antivirus utility for Unix/Linux. Installing the ClamTk package will also install ClamAV and clamav-freshclam virus database update utility as dependencies.
