Avira 2013

i was able to replicate the issue w/UAC on and off with an old (circa 2007) HP NX9420 notebook. UAC on = fine, UAC off = BSoD

OS - Win7 x64, intel CPU, intel 945 chipset

 

THANK YOU!!! maybe they will fix this is people are actually having the issue!!

 

sure thing - it also threw the same bug check you mentioned (don't remember if it was this thread or another)

 

very very bad that avira2013 does not come with an AUTO-UPDATE
because many of my friends don't care to upgrade manualy, they say they have and use an antivirus and it always updates itself.

That's why Avira should and must have auto-update for new version from 2012 to 2013 and 2014 and so an, to update itself without the user need to download it manual and upgrade it.

 

Quite true, it is always better to wait for their automatic upgrade. As my curiosity had the upper hand, I couldn't resist doing it manually, and I have to say that so far this has been one of their best versions in many years in terms of lightness and speed. I've even decided to keep the web guard on as it doesn't affect my browsing in the least.

 

Well then you have to wait for a very long time, because there will be NO auto-upgrade from avira2012 to avira2013.

 

except it does auto upgrade. just like The Hammer said it does.

 

Shouldn't the 'start product update' install 2013 ? (suite)

 

Sure it should when available but I expect the release is being staggered,

 

Seems Avira is trying to get a hold of you. A senior admin on the help forum has replied. They also tried to email you. http://forum.avira.com/wbb/index.php?page=Thread&postID=1215414#post1215414

 

i saw that i will be collecting the info they need later tonight i have to format and reinstall on my test system so that everything is correct and current. i will be sending them the dmp, avira tool results and anything else they need to hopefully resolve this issue

 

Z, with all due respect, the answer is the first suggestion in your sig. Everything else is filler.

 

Stephan and VLK would differ I'm sure.

 

Oh, I think they would differ on alot of stuff that aint in this thread.

 

I am a registered beta tester for Avira. I just downloaded patch 3 of Avira and installed it onto Windows 8. Not one single issue yet, working perfectly.
But be warned

In the release notes it does not claim anywhere to fix or work with Windows 8 so if you try be fair warned.

But for me, Yabba-dabba-doo, I got my Avira back with web protection and no slow down. Damn, life is good.

 

I wish they wouldn't have added a lot of protection into it and made it a must for the toolbar to be installed.

like the web protection

 

still same issue here with the sleep issues. nothing fixed.

 

Change is likely just around the corner...

 

bingo , i had 5 paid lic for Avira premium , dropped them because of this . Don;t trust them any more . Sorry Avira , never again

 

That didn't last but a day...

 

same for me just didnt change my avatar yet, same sleep problem back again. had to uninstall it again.

 

Trjam's got a few extra ones (avatars) that is.. I'm sure he can lend you one.

 

Or a dozen...

 

I got the pop up today on my notebook advising me of the product upgrade along with a download now button. I installed it using the custom install option to avoid anything (Ask related like toolbars and default search engine changes) when I got to the spot asking me whether I wanted to be notified manually before sending suspicious files to Avira. There was a link to find out more about this but it didn't work. So I checked the box (which is unchecked by default) saying I did want to be notified manually.
