    25+ seconds is pretty slow. Mine averages 12-18 seconds without Avira. Avira seems to pull the reboot up to 2-3 MINUTES.

    Once it was removed, problem stopped. This is a longstanding, well known issue with Avira that's been discussed for quite some time. Nothing new, and nothing uncommon.

    For the browser security
    Just install and take a look
    i would say what the h _ _ _
    they bring back the ASK as safe search
    use google is not good search engine?
    How can you compare the ask search item can beat google
    less informative and not useful in asian
    Bring back google,no ASK!

    I had installed it on my chrome since it was introduce already
    past build it use google
    but today when I doing a reinstall the browser security
    they bring back their ask(rebrand) instead of google
    you will see you are being redirect to search.avira.com instead of google.com
    that why I'm getting angry about it
    Just test yourself remove your current browser security,and reinstall it
    and doing their safe search,you will be suprise!

    Who cares about it?
    Grab the Avira Suite with Web Protection and forget the BS, sorry ABS.

    Disable safe search in ABS and install WOT. ABS is still good for catching malicious links that are clicked. All that you are losing is color codes in search results, for which WOT is a perfect replacement.

    Yes I have been using WOT at past
    it was great products however I don't want to install more extension
    to block tracker,web site rating....
    (because i have many extension on my chrome already)

    I don't know why they choose ask replace google as their safe search feature
    Google is not good,which hoxx shxx user think about to keep the ask

    I just tried the new beta and yes they did change the default search to ASK. But still you can use google search and get color codes. One thing to note is that color codes work only on https://www.google.com but not on https://encrypted.google.com

    It would be one year added on from the date of expiry. At least that was the case when I ordered directly from Avira last time.

    They celebrate and have St Patrick's day parades in major cities across Canada. Still I wonder if the licence would be valid here? I guess if it works for Osaban, it will work for me.

    Done, thanks anon and The Hammer! I'd like to point out a couple of things about this purchase. With Chrome I was unable to proceed to check out as the tab was overlapped by other links from the Avira page (see attachment) I had to switch to IE for the tab to function, and something new to be aware of is the "Automatic Renewal" which will be presumably activated if one doesn't click to change it to manual. I personally don't like these automatic renewals.

    I took the 3 years option: 36 months - 1 users => $71.41 $35.69

    @ all:
    Always remember this =

    ============================
    I did the same.

    Anyway, you can do it during the purchase or later on:
    Note
    The automatic renewal works only with the latest product version.
    ..
    Your automatic renewal status can be checked at any time from your customer account. From there you can switch the service on or off.

    -------------------------
    If the link opens and you are able to proceed in purchase, then obviously is valid there, IMHO.

    I know that but I want their safe-search is base on Google or let us to choose which search engine in safesearch,not just force the ask again
    Otherwise why they need to remove the ask toolbar??
    the community feedback is really dislike the ASK
    Also if you have activated the abs it will ask you to turn on the safesearch
    Adavce users should not have any problem
    but for the novices users they don't know,what is that and how to change it back to normal
    it just left a complain about avira again
    I still questionable,
    Does they want the users always complain about your company action (ask parnership) and not care about the international market


    Let me rememind something for your
    Avira often got blaming with users
    First:they partnership with UniBlue in 2008(Fortunately they discontinue),
    2.then they belong the ask to partner with useful toolbar feature(now they removed):argh:
    2.1.ASK comeback with ABS :argh:
    3.Not enough staff in support forum
    4.Not enough contraction with many isp to solved the MD5 issues(CDN)
    This is always happen in many conuntry,such as China
    (you can findthis is always happeing in support forum)
    5.system speedup sometime a bit buggy on 8.1(i received the news 360Amigo team has defund and open an other company call toolwiz,The team has been solen the 360Amigo to Avira,and 360amigo has discontinue to update
    So our current Avira system speedup is 360amigo but it is maintain by Avira)
    (you can compare the version number between 360amigo and system speedup
    Let we play the games,guess what is the next blaming for Avira :argh:
