    For many times, even after giving a format to my pc,
    I tried to download a trial version of AVIRA AntiVir Personal Edition Premium
    from their website (avira.com).

    The result was always the same:
    An .exe file that couldn't successfully decompress itself,
    as a message stopped the entire proccess!
    The message implied that the file was corrupted (i.e. hit by a virus) !!!:mad:
    The same happened with AVIRA AntiVir Personal Edition Classic, which is a freeware!:mad:

    I also tried to download them from other legitimate links, but I ended up with the same corrupted file!:'(
    Here, it is what message-window I receive:

    Setup of Avira AntiVir PersonalEdition Premium (X)
    -----------------------------------------------
    The CRC sum of
    C:\DOCUME~1\HOMEUS~1\Temp\RarSFX0\basic\setup.exe
    has been changed! This could be due to a virus!
    Do you want to shut down Setup?
    ------------------------------------------------
    (OK)
    ------------------------------------------------
    Can you successfully Download & Install from the website of AVIRA?
    Any idea of what is happening?

    <Running WinXP Pro SP2>

    Thank you in advance!!!:)

    I never had problems downloading and installing from aviras website. Are you saving the installer onto your disk rather than opening without saving?
    What OS are you running?

    I once had problems decompressing avira classic
    it always got to about halfway, then got stuck
    I don't remember wat the error message was,
    but I found out it was because i had Spyware Terminator on.
    when i turned it off, avira worked.
    so it might be any real time scanner u have on

    hope that helps

    212eta, when is the last time you've tested the stability of your pc with Memtest86+ & Prime95/StressPrime? Like everyone else I can't recall ever having an extraction problem with Avira that's download from any website. Have you tried installing in safe mode?
