Problem With Avira Scan Shows Ugly Head Again

Take a look at posting #21, he does say what he was running at the time. I have the same problem with the rootkit scanner and all I have is Spybot S&D and a router for security, so I think it's most likely something else. On the Avira forum people have posted the scan log with the errors, but they didn't get any response, so he has a point about this. I personally don't care if the rootkit scanner works, there are enough free ones available. But I can also understand how someone may be upset if he bought it and this was one of the features he was interested in having.

 

Geeez poirot. Secretive! I mentioned in my post #21, what I was running while I had Avira Premium and Avira SS installed. That's it, that's all, that's everything, nothing else. No other security software at all. Period.

I was not being secretive about what suite I'm running now. If you check my post #8, you'll see what I'm currently using. I didn't want to bring KIS into this. I didn't want people to think that I'm just some KIS fan trolling Avira. That was not and is not my intention. The only reason I even mentioned KIS was to reply to JerryM's concerns in his post, #7.

 

Greystoke is one of my friends and a very upfront and straight forward person. He has given to and anguished as much as I, with assisting Avira. Please do not question is integrity. I know lets get this thread back on track.

Hey Greystoke, trust me on this one, try out Bitdefenders new beta suite this week, you may just find the answers to your questions.

 

Hi trjam. Thanks for the kind words. I appreciate that very much.

I have signed up for Bitdefender's beta. I'm just waiting for their e-mail telling me I can start using it. I'm looking forward to trying it out.

 

@graystoke
It will be available on June 12 (tomorrow), check the Beta page on that day.
Cheers

 

Thanks fredra.

 

Never had the slightest doubt and absolutely NEVER 'questioned his intergrity'......

anyone could have understood that,otherwise i wouldnt have wished him all the best......

 

No problem, I more then likely, over reacted.

 

Bassically, in my Opinion you should Install it, Update it, and dont Bloody Fiddle with it having said that, its Silent like a Panther on my System ready to bash the Living Horace out of any Nasties and Thingymajiggys I set it to Scan All files, and Repair/Delete Option, it Scans perfectly

 

OOPS!!!!
@Graystoke
They just changed the release date to June 19th.
Cheers

 

Yeah, I just read that in the Bitdefender 2008 Beta thread. A little disappointing, but it's better that they get everything right before releasing it.

 

Very true as this new one is going to be a "tad" different.

 

Hmmmmm
How different is "tad"?
Just couldn't help that.... me bad ..... lol
We now return to regular programming, already in progress .. lol
Cheers

 

I agree with Graystoke, antivir isn`t as good as it used to be.
If it is not working try another one, if you still like it thats ok too.

 

Well, I think it's a good product as far as anti-virus/anti-malware products go. It has a very good detection rate. It runs very light, doesn't slow down the computer during start ups and browsing. There is just this scanning problem that affects some, not all, customers. If you read the Avira forum, you will see that there is a known problem, but nothing seems to be getting done to fix it.

There is this other little pet peeve I have about Avira, but that's for another day.
