Avira Web site - Looks like it's down?

I typed in http://www.avira.com/
What I get is a blank page and no matter what I try the site just will not load.

Is there any official news from avira?

 

It works for me. I am able to goto support and even check my licence info.
I am putting my ping attempt below for reference :

 

Thanks, I just tried again and the site loads fine. I guess it was something to do with my setup.

 

No no
It really was down

Website down for maintenance
Hello,

because of unexpected maintenance our websites are down. All pages will be online asap.

Thank you for your understanding.

 

avira is always like that. the last time thier site was down in june i think, it was 2 weeks down. can't even download updates.

 

Working well for me.

 

Yep same here. Good to see you back, Jeff

 

yep, guess I am just doomed.

 

oefff

 

2 weeks, is dat a joke?

 

Maybe they were hacked?

 

That's bullshit, and you know it. Their website never was down for two weeks. Ever. Not even for 2 days... This thread is about the website and not any issues you've been having with their free-version download servers on release change day at peak times when 50 million people hammer their update servers.

No there was an issue with version numbers of downloads/MD5s being displayed on the website incorrectly causing confusion with some people who did manually verify that their downloads were correct, so they took it down and fixed it.

 

LOL this thread just needs to die off already. the site is up works fine. so do the updates. end of story.
