    Sorry for taking so long to answer.

    I installed the personal edition (free), so there wasn;t any program update, I just uninstalled the old avira 9 and installed the new avira 10.

    If you mean problem with update after I installed it, there was only once a problem when it couldn't download the update, but the other day and till now it updates fine :)

    they released twice for program update after initial release V10(free).

    IMO, updating problems has been fixed :) . Program update run smooth and no need restart your system :D

    Now, updater run very fast. I already set updater twice a day (every 8 hours).

    Please, when the last release was ? I tried version 10 last monday 20/4, and Avira 10 free after the first reboot freezeed on my system and didn't update, while the 9 version runs perfectly.

    Re - The icon is missing in Control Panel

    Never had a problem with that in v8 or my current v9

    I've made an AviraDesktop.gif for you, and anybody else who might like it.

    AviraDesktop.gif

    that you can use to make the missing AviraDesktop.ico

    Download AviraDesktop.gif and open it with an image viewer like XnView and save it as a Windows ICO.

    Then right click on the empty icon in Control Panel and changing it to this one.

    I'm using the Avira security suite.

    I haven't seen avnotify in the task manager, but that doesn't mean it isn't there.

    My question: is it there, or not ?
    As I understand, the notifier send data to google analytics.
    I just re-read the relevant threads, but I don't know if the notifier is in this version, and <what> data are sent to google analytics.

    If someone has the answers, I'd appreciate it.

    Today I have seen a number of ads that seemed to be somewhat personalized, non-English ads at English/American websites. :ouch:

    avnotify spam screen is run on every definitions update; it's not a service/permanent task.

    I don't use a FREE version. So is it part of this or not ?

    I haven't seen a spam screen on a definitions update.

    Damn interface is so slow... feels like a HyperCard stack from 1992. Also, I just noticed you need to have the tray icon running or you won't get popups from the guard. Progress... :cautious:


    Fly, most every website you view has a google-analytics web bug or data of some kind. Just put google-analytics.com in your HOSTS file and it won't be an issue.

    Hi,

    Avira Notifier is only present in AntiVir Personal, not in paid versions.
    Also please read this, as Notifier is not spam or spyware : https://www.wilderssecurity.com/showpost.php?p=1657720&postcount=60

    Notifier is in the Pro version as well, but it doesn't open after an update. It does run, however, and transmit data to Avira. It's also used if you click the "Virus information" link on an alert dialog. That Virus Information feature has never worked for me ever, as the page that opens never has any information on the virus!

    Well not here, not on any of the tens of boxes I've installed Avira on. Never ever had any info on any virus it detected. Didn't work w/ v8, v9 or v10.

    Unless they're bypassing HOSTS, yes.

    Is there a small version of the HOSTS file ?

    My computer is rather old (AMD XP 2800+), and the mvps hosts file seems rather large.

    Not to fight malware, but to fight tracking and ads.

    I haven't tried it yet.
