Avira Proactive 64 bit.

Hello,why Proactive still not work on 64 bit Windows?
What they do from Avira?How can i by licence for something like that?Are they care of that?

 

I have windows 7 professional x64 and it works fine

 

It might bee working "fine" but it's not actually doing anything under 64bit.
I's probably similar like it was with avast! where in initial versions, Behavior Shield wasn't functioning on 64bit OS at all. AVIRA just hasn't pushed it so far for 64bit. But we can safely assume that they are working on it.

 

Oh ,non
is not work at all!!!
The Proactive i just for 32bit systems.


Why is the new module 'Avira AntiVir ProActiv' not available for 64 Bit systems ?

Avira AntiVir ProActiv is not available for 64 Bit systems at the moment. The new behavior-based detection technology Avira AntiVir ProActive which is integrated into the new version 10 of the products Avira AntiVir Premium, Avira Premium Security Suite and Avira AntiVir Professional right now is only available for 32 bit systems. There are technical reasons which prevent the support on 64 bit systems: the module right now uses the so called kernel hooks to monitor the system. Those kernel hooks are not available on 64 bit systems. Work on a technical solution for Windows Vista and Windows 7 64 bit systems is in progress. However, at the moment no statement concerning the availability can be given.

 

Other vendors are or were having problems with their equivalents weren't they?

 

yes, but proactive isnt really that new anymore

 

I'm not arguing that. My question is have other vendors mastered the problem, say Kaspersky for one?

 

ah, well in the past im pretty sure KIS did have some x64 compatibility problems as did avast before

 

Yes,...but before...Avira still 12 mounts....and more.

 

Try again please. I'm not getting what your trying to say. Do you mean months?

 

Well even without Proactiv 64 bit, it is a pretty darn good product.

 

Yes

yes Avira do nothing still 12 months

 

let me reprhase it

conccinelle think that avira is doing nothing this past 12 months to improve proactive protection on 64bit

 

1 word.
Underdeveloped

 

It,s an OT, but can some one tell us what behaviors trigger an action/ alert by behav blocker of Avira? Any screenshot of the alert? Thanks

Thanks

 

There is a tendency nowadays to quickly get through the various alpha, beta stages of new code in order to fulfill marketing expectations, resulting in poorly developed and buggy applications.

I think Avira had problems in the beginning with ProActiv 32 bit which was disrupting significantly all the other modules. It is fine at long last in terms of compatibility (although I haven't had a chance yet to see it in action), and therefore Avira doesn't want to make the same mistake with the 64 bit version, better late than buggy.

 

Could not have said it better.


The world is flooded with buggy betas and releases right now.

 

Nice find this is. Never seen their proactive detection (behavioral).

 

betas are generally supposed to be buggy

 

True, but some products are pushed out nowadays as releases and they're bugfests to say the least.....

 

will proactive for 64bits systems available soon
or do we need to wait till version 12?

thanks!

 

I doubt it will be soon.

 

Did this happen on a 64-bit OS? I thought maybe you were showing this to show that is does work on 64-bit OS's.

I saw a few screenshots of it finding things before on 32-bit OS's, and personally saw it in action on XP Pro SP3. I wasn't planning on adding it to my setup at all but was curious about it. It intercepted an attempt to launch my browser to get me to register online after installing a game. The file was not infected, but to me that is unwanted behavior. That's precisely what the thing is there for, I think?

If it doesn't work on 64-bit OS's I hope they can remedy it soon, because it's a useful component.
