What's the standalone setup?

The offline installer (Downloads), which comes only the antivirus and not all other stuff from Avira (at least here in Brazil they offer the standalone/offline installer).

Trial version or freeware?

Freeware , its just Avira free antivirus. (instead of avira free security)
