How disappointing, I actually like Avira, and I still use them occasionally. I wonder why Avira didn't trace the suspicious activity back to the original executable. It should have been quarantined early on. I hope Avira learns from this failure.

Thanking " safeguy" for these links: https://www.onmsft.com/news/google-chrome-engineer-says-windows-defender-the-only-well-behaved-av http://robert.ocallahan.org/2017/01/disable-your-antivirus-software-except.html https://twitter.com/parityzero/status/826489070310207489 https://twitter.com/justinschuh/status/802491391121260544 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13079569 This quote refers to the first link. I have disabled web protection on my 2 machines with Avira. It would be interesting if someone from Avira could comment on these issues, and by disabling web protection would be a temporary solution.
I have turned off Avira web protection, because I feel that web scanners have too much potential to break the browser security model. I prefer to use other methods to secure my web browsing. As far as those clowns claiming that Defender is all that you need for AV, that was the best laugh I had all day!
If you are referring to those engineers from Google and Mozilla, they said that Defender is all that you need within the context that Defender is the only AV that hasn't broken the browsers' own security mechanism. My question is, by disabling the web protection module do I effectively stop Avira's interference with Chrome? I also have other layers to rely on for web protection...
I think that is a reasonable assumption to make, based on web protection essentially being a http scanner. Most premium AV suites include web scanning by default, so that could be the browser developers biggest issue. Turn that off and then your browser should run free. Then your next layer of defense is your real-time AV file scanner. This seems to be where things get interesting, and why you probably need script controls in your browser, some blacklisting of known bad sites, and an exploit defense or behavior blocker to stop attackers that are not detected by real-time AV file scanning signatures (not that web scanning would detect them any better, just possibly earlier) ...

You dislike it? So you was ok with the previous state? For me it's a good step. And now I'm waiting the next one: the return of "interactive" mode in scans (instead of the current "auto- quarantine"mode).
While I don't use Avira myself, this is excellent news, and I hope they bring back interactive mode too. I would consider using Avira if they did.
In Avira Pro under General configuration settings WMI read access is enabled by default. Should I enable write access as well as I have just done a reinstall?
