Avira AntiVir 9 released!

Is the new Imap feature in Mailguard supposed to work with gmail through thunderbird!!!!!!! Cos it blocks thunderbird here ,i have to remove mailguard for email to work

 

This is what Avira Free or Premium + Security didn't see or couldn't fix or remove. AVG Free had spotted it but only could send it to the vault thus not removing the entire string. RAV 2009 cleaned it..

Now

linkinfo.dll
IsDrv118.sys

These two spread like a worms on all HDD in your system. Just letting who can add these to the list of defs need to be aware of it..

 

Rising Anti Virus had one of the worse detection rates, lower than most, just preposterous to suggest that Avira which has industry standard detection rate of 99% couldn't detect these two if they are virus at all. Have you sent the samples to Avira?

 

ok, you might want to try the following (assuming it's an avira regkey what's causing your issue, which i very much doubt): PowerTools has a feature called RegistryFinder with which you can search for avira related keys and delete them (use this tool with caution, check what you are deleting and make backup).
Of course, do this after you have uninstalled the program from windows's add/remove. Registryfinder has worked for me a few times for other apps Also, try the avira forum for additional advice.

 

I have Ver. 9 Prem. and the only problem is Mail Guard. I use Outlook Express for E Mail and had to shut off the Advanced Heuristics scan. Sometimes I have to shut off MG completely to get E Mail. There has been a lot of posts on their forum about the same problem. I hope they can get it fixed.

 

Can someone go to www.gamefaqs.com and click on any system, and report a false positive alarmed by avira premium everything on high, thanks.

 

It does on high, but medium is ok.

 

just did that, and with everything on high I didn't get any warning.

 

Ah, ok so it's not just me, yeah it has to be on high.

 

I have the same setup as you (OE, MG enabled and heuristics at default medium level) but I don't have problems with e-mail. Are you running other security program along with avira?

 

Oh Arup how I have missed you

Anyways Been out for a wile nice to see Avira have a new version out installing across the board right now. Been gone a two months damn how things have changed.

 

Is the firewall any better in v9 ?

 

I don't know what you mean by better.
With privileged application feature that they introduced in v9 i can finally use p2p and play online games without trouble .This was the drawback that keept me not using the previous suite.
It's still not so user friendly IMO (when you want to add manual rules but with privileged application feature you'll probably not have to).

 

Nice to see you back. Things have certainly changed but somethings still remain the same.

 

I am testing Avira Free on two computers...pretty nice, so far!

Seems light and fast. If it continues to perform well, I may upgrade to the premium version, as I hear it has some additional capabilities such as mail and web protection.

 

Yep, I recently bought a Premium license, it's very nice. Can't beat the protection and features for that price. I think it cost me $26.95 US. That's nothing for such a good product. Well worth it IMO.

 

i m still having that promotional license that runs till June 09 might be thinking of renewing it

 

Is there any possibility to set "safe start" after installation of the program? Thanks in advance.

 

Go to Start, Run, type cmd, hit enter, a command prompt window will open.
cd c:\Program Files
cd Avira
cd AntiVir Desktop
avconfig.exe /WIZARD

 

Everything would be OK, but after following your instructions I haven't noticed any changes. What is more, after opening the wizard again, "normal start" is marked. Is that as it should be?

 

this is a setting fixed by avira to avoid false positives.
for scanning with high heuristics you need to choose another scan profil
