    No no no,I am talking about is the link which can view to the final analysis report page of Avira V-Lab
    That the one you have capture for us

    Any I test the link
    first time i got 54 result
    but if running scanner(ondemand right click scan)
    it could cause a scan loop which will have lower result
    (that may related to the scanner or engine have some weried problem....)
    I have contact stefan k for some analysis...


    But i think those files should be archive bomb
    (which is very command use for malware maker/hacker
    and the aim is to cause the engine to heavy loading or no respond)

    Anyway in my test some files is left-out,I upload it to vrius lab
    It have classify as malware already but one sentance you have miss in the report too
    Detection will be added to our virus definition file (VDF) with one of the next updates.
    that mean you have to wait the next VDF update,then it will get detected

    -----------

    If you wish, you can upgrade manually:
    Download and run the 14.0.4.614 installer (do not uninstall the working version) on top of the working version.
    During the installation process, select the "Repair/Upgrade" option.
    Note: Your configuration settings will remain the same.

    No delays on my 64 bit win 7 desktop with MBAM, but then I have a lot of horsepower on it. Netbook with 2 GB is sluggish at startup.

    Hey guys, since Avira continues to do well in testing, is light, and the free version now has Avira's cloud features, I have some questions before recommending it:

    1. Have they done away with the Ask toolbar yet?
    2. What sort of nag screens, etc. does it have?
    3. Have they changed the scan menu to something simpler, or do they plan to change it?

    1. Don't know about this one. Haven't tried the latest installer.
    2. Atmost once a week I see some kind of promotion or product features displayed near the tray icon. Can be closed with a simple click.
    3. Scan menu is still the same.

    There is no more Ask toolbar with Avira free; it now has the browser security addon instead of the toolbar for web protection.

    have files ready for you guys im on the road they are at my desk ill send them per the request when i get done for the day. its been a very hectic day here. i used a test machine from my office which i formatted and installed windows 7 x64 NOTHING aside from updates for windows and essential drivers were installed aside from avira. and i still have the 2-3 minutes start up times. the newest beta i tested did get to the desktop faster then before (albeit not a whole lot faster though) but i still basically had to sit and wait before things would open or i could do anything everything was just bogged down and the umbrella took forever to open. once it did everything was normal and i could use the machine as normal. i would have sent the files this morning but i want to install the current released version also and have both for you guys. i am hoping to be done here sometime after 6-7pm eastern time.

    There was a time when you could download the online (which downloaded the latest components) and offline installers from their site.

    Now when i tried to download the free version it was some junk .exe which wanted to instal net framework 4.

    I guess is to much to ask to dl the avira normal installer from avira's site.
