Avira

Thanks everyone!!! It would be lovely to test out avira free with APC

 

In Q1 too.

 

From the changes they are making, it seems like Avira is back on tracks.

 

I’d say... Detection is great again, very light on resources (single engine), reasonably low FPs, and last but not least one license key for all computers (thanks anon for the information)... An excellent deal.

 

It si only too bad that you have too uninstall Malwarebytes when you want too install Avira 2014. They should work togheter.

 

I have 2 licenses for MBAM but I still use it on demand, and if it is installed after Avira there shouldn't be any problems as long as MBAM is on demand.

Doesn't matter if it's installed before/after.

I have also Avira Antivirus Suite & MBAM free (on demand) & HitmanPro free (on demand).
No problems.

------------------------
Avira is using Opswat’s AppRemover to detect and automatically uninstall 3rd party security software.

But why do you need too uninstall malwarebytes before you can install Avira ?

 

I think it is more a recommendation to avoid a potential conflict, I'm not sure but the installation can continue if one clicks next. In any case uninstalling MBAM and re-install it later is not the end of the world really.

 

No problem running both in real time for me.

 

Can you give the link where exactly these tests were done-virus bulletin website, perhaps?
Thanks in advance.

when i run avira it always stops scanning about half way?

can anyone help me out and tell me whats the problem?

 

and does avira come with a toolbar?

 

you only get the toolbar if you allow it now. just watch during install and make sure to decline.

 

what would be the reason it wont scan all the way it stops near half way

 

Try this:

Open Avira Control Center, click "Extras" , then go to "Configuration" :

1) Go to "PC Protection > "System Scanner" = Leave the options "Integrity checking of system files" & "Follow symbolic links" disabled.
2) Go to "General" > "Security" = "System protection" and uncheck the option "Advanced process protection" >
3) Click "Apply & OK"
4) Restart your computer.

.

 

I ve installed the latest Free version (14.0.2.286) on some friend's computer.
The first notification (avira installed successfully) and the update notification is gone....
Is it eliminated by default?

Is this the option?

 

By default all options are checked. You can press Default values and click OK.
