Avira update

Hi Guys

For some strange reason I can't get Avira Premium Security suite to update. I tried several reinstalls but no luck.
Anyone have any idea?

 

would be interestig if you could tell us what is happening when you're staring an update.

 

worked fine for me, both scheduled and manual.

 

Nothing is happening. When clicking update nothing is doing a thing. automatic update isn't doing anything as well

 

Works as a charm for me as well!

 

What can it be than?

 

well something has happened. I know it is a pain in the ass, but I would uinstall and reinstall.

 

I suppose you are using vista.
well this problem is caused by the norton removal tool.
please use this tool to restore the deleted regkeys:

Do you have a link to where this fix is discussed?

 

if thats enough for you:

and a FAQ entry on the avira site, but only in german:

English translation:

Question
"Update start" does not work under Vista

Answer
If you look for the installation of AntiVir software under Windows Vista an update on the update start AntiVir main window want, there will be no reaction.
The problem occurs when you advance the Norton Removal tool on the computer. This is the important variable system Commonwealth appData removed and AntiVir submits its own application directory in C: \ Windows \.
To solve the problem, download the following registry file, uncompress it and open the file contained. The tag is then available again and AntiVir update works as usual.

un-install seems to fix the problem the_one

 

This tool fixed things.
Thanx Guys

 

no problem, leo was on top of that one.

 

I'm using AntiVir Premium and I think avira's pfw's performance is on average.

 

Because it doesn't pass all simulations?
