Avira AntiVir 9 released!

can one tell me where in the avira forums does it say that you cannot run another antispyware program like superantispyware pro along side avira? in residence?

thanks

I honestly never saw it so I would say it should be fine. But, the reality is, you dont need it with this version. I mean if you want to slow your PC down with another app that is fine, but no, you dont need it. Avira will give you now, almost 100 percent protection and for some, that is 100 percent. Plain and simple.

 

Nice i took off avg 7.5 finally for 9 so far so good, running premium ..

 

SuperAntiSpyware has a tiny memory foot print and for the added protection, it's worth it

And running SAS with Avira is fine (I'm doing it right now).

 

yes SAS does have very low RAM usage (even though that doesnt really matter much for performance) but its also light on CPU, and that matter more. if u want u can run both, but u really dont need to, something that uses a diff kind of tech other than blacklisting (AS) wuld probly be better.

 

Can anyone answer my question? What does "Enhanced Anti-Spyware" mean? It's included in AntiVir Premium according to their website.

 

It probably just means the anti-spyware module has been improved upon hence the word enhanced.

 

If you keep all your NIRSOFT tools and even sample collections in a folder, you can simply add the whole folder to the omissions box and the guard won't signal on them.

This is a winner!

 

My previous questions have all been answered and running very smoothly.
In Windows XP boot time is now about 4 secs. less and peak memory
usage is much much lower.

 

but they say it's 20% more fast but to seems more slow then the previous version

the free version has the anti spy feature too,it's nice


but does the free version the automatic update? and does it download the all database or incremental update like nod or avast

thanks

 

They don't mention that it's 20% faster in on-demand scanner only, not on-access...

 

Free version i notice has also included a scheduler so it's about as good as it gets IMO.

Download and install updates automatically (recommended)

 

I don't think so, the website says AntiVir Personal has "Basic Anti-Spyware" and AntiVir Premium has "Enhanced Anti-Spyware".

 

cool
so it does check up every 60 minutes for updates
are incremental the update in the free version? i mean download 200k or the full database


i'm thinking to drow down nod and start to use avira
i read the real time scaner is faster like nod

 

is there one for avira 9?

 

They are both very fast,efficient.I'm not sure a difference is noticeble.I use the suite of Avira including the webguard which i was not a fan of the concept,but it's like it's not there.Try and see.
I also try the free version but i put the updates on invisible ,don't know if they changed.
Still in the description they advertise Fast Update servers for the premium and suite only ,so this could mean that it hasn't changed (sometimes the free version will have trouble updating).

 

thanks
so avira free has problems for the updates , i mean they are slow and later then premium version ?

 

The updates are fast,I really wish this rumor would die as since version 6,they've since upgraded their servers,so updating is 10x faster then waaay back when Avira was version 6.

 

Hello Boost.I'm on fast broadband connection,and used avira continuously free,or premium last 2 years.I can tell you that there are sometimes problems with the free version,doing an update.It happens rarely during 5-9 PM CET time.Like i said i scheduled invisible updates ,later at night and don't have problems.
Also this could be more noticeble for dial up if they did not change the method.
It's not a big issue but it has been my experience with the free version

 

Big issues are, missing malware. Avira doesnt.

 

what's the meaning of invisible updates?

 

The same for me. I tried Avira RegistryCleaner 7.0.0.8 like PaulBB said to me in this 3D, but the update didn't run. I came back to the previous version and I wait.

 

It means there is no sort of pop-up indicating an update is taking place. They will just take place quietly and invisibly.

 

No they don't so long as you untick the option to receive news letter.

 

No the free verion updates are slower to download than they are for the paid for version. No unreasonably so, but slower none the less.
