Downloading from avira.com

For many times, even after giving a format to my pc,
I tried to download a trial version of AVIRA AntiVir Personal Edition Premium
from their website (avira.com).

The result was always the same:
An .exe file that couldn't successfully decompress itself,
as a message stopped the entire proccess!
The message implied that the file was corrupted (i.e. hit by a virus) !!!
The same happened with AVIRA AntiVir Personal Edition Classic, which is a freeware!

I also tried to download them from other legitimate links, but I ended up with the same corrupted file!
Here, it is what message-window I receive:

Setup of Avira AntiVir PersonalEdition Premium (X)
-----------------------------------------------
The CRC sum of
C:\DOCUME~1\HOMEUS~1\Temp\RarSFX0\basic\setup.exe
has been changed! This could be due to a virus!
Do you want to shut down Setup?
------------------------------------------------
(OK)
------------------------------------------------
Can you successfully Download & Install from the website of AVIRA?
Any idea of what is happening?

Thank you in advance!!!

 

I never had problems downloading and installing from aviras website. Are you saving the installer onto your disk rather than opening without saving?
What OS are you running?

 

I downloaded AntiVir Premium trial yesterday with absolutely no problems.

http://www.avira.com/en/download/index.html

 

Zero problems ever downloading.

 

I once had problems decompressing avira classic
it always got to about halfway, then got stuck
I don't remember wat the error message was,
but I found out it was because i had Spyware Terminator on.
when i turned it off, avira worked.
so it might be any real time scanner u have on

hope that helps

 

212eta, when is the last time you've tested the stability of your pc with Memtest86+ & Prime95/StressPrime? Like everyone else I can't recall ever having an extraction problem with Avira that's download from any website. Have you tried installing in safe mode?

 

First of all, I want to thank you all for offering me your feedback!!!
I problem in Windows Installer 3.1 was what
blocked the execution of the downloaded file!
Everything is O.K. now!!!

Once again, THANK YOU ALL!!!

 

I have downloaded a german version once
