Spotted at CoU that Avira is now including Uniblue advertisements(Installers Hall of Shame (Unwanted add-on) - Calendar Of Updates - Page 19).  The post at CoU links to these topics:

[Off-topic] Uniblue scareware ads (hello Uniblue, goodbye Avira) and UNIBLUE REGISTRY BOOSTER Complaints - Deceptive Advertising and Sales Practice

Even paid customers are seeing Uniblue ads:  [Off-topic] Registry Booster 2011 email from Avira - AntiVir Premium and Avira Premium Security Suite - Avira Support Forum

Uniblue proudly displays the Microsoft Partner log.  Don't ever let that give the impression that a vendor has any close relationship with Microsoft.  There is no vetting to become a registered Microsoft partner.  All it means is that the company employs the requisite number of certified professionals and has completed the registration process, nothing more.
