Antivir hog

I'm bit disspointed with Antivir premium it's a hog, my firefox was slow, speed, system in general. had it in laptop and desktop both newish running win 7, I takes it off guess what system is fast again, speed and performance. Put on Antivir free and it's same fast...Premium has something in it that makes system slow, btw this is without webgaurd on too, remember this is on 2 pc's not just one, whats up??.

 

The only issue I have had is that when it updates the computer becomes unusable for a few seconds while it updates.

 

Same here.

 

The same happens here which is really not an issue for me.
Otherwise my pc is just as fast with or without Avira Premium.

 

No slow down here.

 

Hmmm Not sure what is going on then, noticeable performance with it off, and free put on. Anyone want to try with there's off go for it.

 

As far as i know (from experience also) Avira is quite light, you might wanna chek out your installation or any possible conflicts, or even try reinstall it after you completely remove it with their uninstall tool...

 

No slowdowns whatsoever here, never has been.

 

@maddawgz you can try disabling premium features one by one to see which one is slowing the system Did you try disabling proactiv or anti driveby?

 

That's a good suggestion.

Have you tried disabling the web guard ?

 

op has already mentioned webguard is off

 

Same here,maddawgz !
WinXpsp3,with Avira AntiVir Premium(on giveaway),Private fw,and Zemana Antilogger.All legit,system defragmented & well maintained.Bogged my dl speed from 1,5Mb/s to half (even one-third).Downloading new Blender took nearly a half an hour!
Than I gave it up,and used the system snapshot.Instaled Avira Personal + Private fw (no HIPS) + Zemana + Malware Defender + BufferZone...and everything went back to normal (system is still in learning mode).
Seems like v10 isn´t to friendly to XP ? Is Avira´s "'Pro-active" module to blame for this ?

 

Good Afternoon ! Using Avira Internet Security Suite V10 on Windows 7 Premium 32 bit and Prevx 3.0 & Safe On-Line so far quick and nimble. Sincerely...Securon

 

I have:
- Avira Premium(no Proactive) in Win7 x32 / XP SP3 pc, FF4 no slowdown
- APSS(no Proactive) in Win7 x64/Win7x32 pc and there is no slowdown in FF4.
- APSS(with Proactive) in XP SP3 pc. FF4 no slowdown.

I seem to observe it's like Avast IS/AvastFree quite zippy. Firewalls I use are CIS / Outpost Pro / Online Armor / Privatefirewall.

 

+1
That's why i uninstalled it.

 

Avira 10 is much unstable, i use version 9.

 

Hi guys no webgaurd at all, i am using free right now seems way better, weird i don't get it. Anyone find free ok though or different? no issues with free. I could use 9 Premium since i have key but where do you download 9? I spent weeks re=enstalling firefox, asking ISP whats up?. Just by pure chance i uninstalled Antivir, noticed Major improvement. Since the free is fine, must be a pro-active module or something that it uses resources, and bandwidth or something. If anyone wants to test my theory out try n see. Perhaps we can come up with solution?, only other thing it may have been is mailgaurd you think??

Update...Tried V9 bit better but still rather free.

 

i stay far away from avira antivir products coz its make the download from the net very slow, i try many thing to remove webgard but its still slow downloading, so i go to another antivirus more light on computer.

 

Free is ok not sure why...
