Hi Spokesman,

if you are registered to the Avira BetaCenter, please us the bug report form in there and supply us with additional information like the Avira Support Collector so we can investigate into this issue.

Thank you!

Kind regards,
Toni R.

 

@ Toni R,
ETA for stable v14.0.6.5xx (Update 6)?

 

I have Avira Pro version Version :464 so why does Avira download centre say the version available is Version: 14.0.5.450?

 

Because nobody cares to correct it.
It's not the first time, always the same story again and again.

Avira download centre say the version available is Version: 14.0.5.450, but actually is the latest version (another day / build number / MB size).

Also in installer, there is no any indication re the version.
You have to run the installer (version unknown) first and you can see the version later on, only via the UI.

 

Avira is even better than Comodo at fixing bugs...

Don't ask me, you better ask Avira.
Avira has the ....... answers

 

Hello malware1,
The forum is within the migration process to Avira Answers.
Important forum threads will be migrated, and the community and moderators will be merged as well.

 

Could you take a look at the topic if possible? This issue remains non fixed.

 

Hi malware1,
Sure, i'm checking that topic and keep you informed!

 

Thanks.

 

News from Avira blog, about free version getting better.

Well thats something...so is avira free now fully implemented with APC since the blog shows me something green?

 

Very old news.

Avira Protection Cloud available now for Free Antivirus
Posted on March 6, 2014

@ Spokesman,
The comment goes to Avira blog, not to you.

 

It seems so, but I still have to see one single upload and detection via cloud by Avira free...

 

Good news: We fixed that email message and created for you an own account to upload suspicious files. Thus it is easier for you to handle uploads.
I give you the details over PM.

 

Well I guess Avira team should tell us about APC status in free?

 

Thanks, received.

 

Yes, APC is fully available in Avira Free:

http://blog.avira.com/free-antivirus-protection/
"July 24, 2014 - Our free product now has the same Avira Protection Cloud (APC) technology that was introduced in 2012 for our paid products."

I think you are more interested to see an file upload. This happens only for files that are not known to our cloud. If it is known as malware, you will see a message like "HEUR/APC". You can guess that we collected a lot of files and trained our APC well since the introduction

 

Stable v.14.0.6.552 (Update 6) released today:

Edit:

 

Thanks for the explanation. So every unknown files are submitted to Avira, regardless they look suspicious or not?

 

Hi garrett76,

Exactly. But the logic is more complex:
