New Avira SS 9 Beta Is Available

There is a download link in version tracker.com for the free version.Version is 9.0.0.386 it is a 28.6 MB file.
When I clicked on the download it did not work but after choosing the alternative link at the bottom of the page I downloaded the program.I am not sure if I should wait and get it from the Avira site.

I installed it to my virtual machine and it is working fine.It looks like the premium version.It has a new interface.And you can choose adware and spyware from the extended threat section.Well Done Avira.
In the configuration menu General tab I see a new thing.It is enable VMI support.It is checked by default.

 

i see on their site comparison between Antivir and the security suite, the security suite had a feature called AntiBot and says it protects against bot networks, what exactly does this feature do that will have extra protection compared to the AV only?

 

well it is disabled by default. just prevents wehn activated that no mails are send from your computer only via the smtp servers and mailadresse you allowed.

 

Free version is now online as stand alone installer

 

make sure Optimized Scan is unchecked.

 

Why?? i have it enabled.

 

there were problems with it and if I remember correctly, problems like this. Try it and see.

 

Enables some features for parallel scanning/prefetching of files, only available on multi-core systems. It also uses a bit more RAM in favor of speed

 

Does this dual core optimization also apply to HT enabled processors like Intel Atom N270 found in netbooks? I know HT doesn't delive the same performance as true dual core CPU but still.

 

here you go.

 

Looks like Avira.com is hit by a lot of traffic. The site is really slow to open .. (atleast for me)

 

Changing their website look. Should be just about finished.

 

It doesn't really mention hyperthreading processors (like Pentium D HT or Atom). Just multicore or multi CPU systems.

 

The things i like so far:
smaller, faster updates
gui opens faster
no splashscreen anymore when doubleclicking the tray icon
on demand scan shows a summary window of detected malware at the end of the scan

 

There is a setting during install of the suite to enable lan folders or something like that.Where can i enable it if i didn't tick during install?

 

I see no mention of any HIPS or Behavior Blocker in Avira 9 brochure. So what happened ??

 

next version

 

Hi TrJam,
So when is the next version expected ? 2009 or 2010, any idea ?

Thanks

 

Lol, they barely rleased version 9 and you guys are asking for next version

 

uninstalled the beta, installed v9 and everything is working very nice, good job to Avira

 

Sorry, I am a Tim Allen fan .... Aarrr, more power

 

Farkin Fast man!!!!! I love this new AV. Topped off with PC Tools firewall until my license is up, then the Avira Suite.

 

Is the notifier also included in Avira Personal 9?

 

Have not seen it yet. Will post back if it shows.

 

Maybe you disabled it some time ago?
