    Guys, have you encountered the problem I have: I run avira free +private FW and seemingly avira doesn't recognize it - it shows like a problem that windows firewall is closed and offers to fix it by enabling windows fw.

    Run the "Modify" installation and remove (untick) the "Windows Firewall" component.

    Re your signature:
    fyi: I have Avira Suite & MBAE Free (reatime) & HitmanPro/MBAM Pro (on demand only) => no problems.

    Hi,

    we have a new beta (wfp)-driver available which we send out to selected testers. In case you already contacted us via the bug report form you will receive an Email with instructions.

    Kind regards,
    Toni

    About the bootup delay regarding the network connection and delayed start of Avira systray icon: This is an open topic and still in analysis. Did you all who are affected sent us an report file from the Avira Support Collector? This will help a lot to reproduce and solve this issue!

    This sounds strange. Are there any interesting errors reported within the Windows eventlog? Did you have the chance to report the issue in the Avira beta forum?

    I have installed avira free and it says that the pc is unsafe, if I click fix the problem it launches and update but when is done the message is still the same.
    The last update date is 17/6/2014 (today) and appears in bold and red as if it where an old update.

    Somebody knows how to fix this?

    It's easier with "Modify" installation.

    Yes, I did that, thanks :)
    Lets see how Avira performs now, I was using PCAV but due to the last AVC performance report I'm going to use avira for a while.

    I have now MBAE, WFC and Avira, It looks a solid and light setup...

    Have you tried disabling web protection to see if things improve? I can't browse with web protection on.

    From our analyses this is only affecting win7 x64 and windows 8 / 8.1 x64 users.

    You have to enable the option: "Confirm manually when sending suspicious files to Avira" first.

    The following screenshot is from Avira Suite.

    I don't know if the above mentioned option exists in Avira Free.

    As far as we know up until now it's caused by our wfp driver so it should be browser independent. Please keep in mind that this only applies for the current BETA version!
