New Avira SS 9 Beta Is Available

Thanks!

 

Nice, the best Free AV has just gone better. Cant wait for the new Free Edition comes out.

 

Does anyone use this beta on 64 bit?

 

I second that!

It's adding even more useful features incorporated into an already respectful AV.

Can't wait for 9 to roll out completed myself.

EASTER

 

I just installed the latest beta build and it is smooth as silk. The world's best malware detector just keeps getting better.

 

Very happy to see the firewall memory problem fixed. No more pop ups after rebooting. This is a great suite.

 

I'm having a few issues under a LUA where the guard claims it's not running, when it fact it is, but other than that, things look good. It is indeed somewhat lighter than the version 8 too.

Nice to see Avira continuing to make progress.

 

New try, installed on a clean image with no third party security software installed, UAC off, no popups from windows - install went smooth n everythingh is functioning the way it should incl. most importantly firewall. I wont say there isnt any hicups but overall its doing good, also seems to have improved on V8

 

It updated itself to the latest beta without a hitch. Running smooth and light on Vista. It now has better security to protect itself...nice!

 

1 thing i noticed just now is that Avira isnt showing in my Security Centre on Vista Ultimate 32. any ideas?

 

Shows in my Windows 7 Action Center.

 

i heard that HIPS will not be added in this new avira 9 ?
and even if they add it will be an firewall-hips and not antivirus.

 

i am getting on and off that xp security center says the antivirus is turned off but if you scroll over it, it shows it as active
also there is a funny bug which i reported- the updater is in german. the whole program is in english.

I think the updater being in German is intentional. It's been like that since the beginning of the beta period.

 

From the download beta section there are 2 options, beta suite n webloader, is that webloader an addon?

 

Webloader is new. Instead of downloading the app and installing it, it is installed and updated via the web. It is very cool and a feature that more will be using in the future.

 

Can you tell me more about it, is it another suite version or an addon?

 

The WebLoader always downloads the latest AntiVir files from Avira update server. This means that you will always have an up-to-date product after installation.
Currently in AV8 you're downloading a setup kit which does not contain the lates virus defnition patterns. So you have to do an update. The amount of data that has to be downloaded depends on the age of the product kit in relation to the current virus definition pattern files. In the worst case, the downloaded product is as old that the user has to download all virus definition patterns again a second time. This causes a lot of network traffic than can be reduced with the new webloader

 

Good Evening! Currently using Avira Premium, any update from Avira as to pricing of SS9? Are they planing to integrate promotional pricing for existing users? Or will the pricing be in step with SS8? Given the response the Beta has generated,the new suite seems to offer Avira's stellar quality parameters. Very exciting potential. Sincerely...Securon

 

Customers can upgrade free of charge

 

you can not upgrade from the AV to the Suite for free.

 

I have never been happier to have a license thru 2010 than I am now, lol.

 

Same feeling here, 11/2010 & 3/2011

 

well they sure forgot me, oh well.

 

Hi,

according to chip.de there will be no HIPS module in the upcoming Avira version 9, this module may be a part of version 10 sometimes 2010.

But Avira Personal 9 will include the Spyware protection.
