So Avira has never given you a false positive? Funny. By the way I have the Masters degree in this field. Avira you should quit your Marketing Manager.
So, I'll simply switch to one of them (already did and feel happy). Today, there are such strong concurrents like MS Security Essentials and Avast 5. But just tell me - why should I do this manually and spend my time on such silly things? Just because I use their free product? Or does this little inconvenience make me to buy a premium version? Of course, NO!

I know perfectly how to remove the nag screen and splash screen.

Even Avira's native "after uninstall" screen points to this issue by sarcastic question - "Do you uninstall Avira because of database update problems?" This is just the same stupid marketing policy of Avira team which tries to remind you every possible time and with every possible reason that you are the free product user. Update servers unavailability is not just my problem and all permanent users of this antivirus know about this issue. I installed Avira on a fresh Win 7 Ultimate system. If you still want to use Avira (hey, its still a free country) go here for help in how to remove the very irritating Upgrade/Notify/Ads and all others.
If you want Avast, you can download the latest FREE version 5.0.677 from here: They want your money.īypass Avira and get the superior Avast, it has excellent and fast updates.

This big problem is experienced on many PCs in many different locations, which prove that the update issue is with Avira and not the users' PCs.Īnother very irritating feature of this lousy software is it keeps hounding you to upgrade (BUY) their "Premium Edition". I grew a beard waiting for Avira's SLOOOOOOOOOOW updates. This is the Achilles heel for Avira, and therefore not recommended.Īn open request to deaf Avira, as I have complained to them before but they do not seem to listen, care or give a damn, is this: FIX YOUR DAMN SLOW SERVERS. These failures are totally unacceptable for a security software that we depend on protecting us. The bad news for Avira, reason for just 1 star, is that it is very slow, horrible, atrocious, ridiculously slow in updating the needed definitions.

How well Panda is protecting my system, I haven't a clue, but it tests well in the various antivirus tests I've seen on the Web.Īnyhow, anyone with Windows XP and an old computer who's having problems with Avira might want to give Panda a try.Īvast and this software (Avira) are considered to be the 2 best free antivirus programs. Indeed, Panda has so little impact on my system's performance that it's almost like having no antivirus program installed at all: my computer starts quickly (with no warnings or errors on my Event log), programs launch/open quickly, and files open/load quickly. I vaguely recall experimenting with Panda a year and a half ago and having problems, but the current version (15.1.0) is working very smoothly so far. I suspect that my ancient CPU's lack of support for SSE2 and above may be the problem in some of these cases, as a lot of newer software works better with, or even requires, a CPU with SSE2+ support, so users with a newer CPU may not encounter these problems. AVG, Avast, and Comodo slow my computer quite dramatically, with even the simplest things (opening the Start menu or Windows Explorer or Notepad) being annoyingly delayed.

BitDefender is pretty good while it works, but it's a bit touchy and quits auto scanning after a week or so on my machine - though it works without a hitch (and has for over a year) on my dad's newer Windows 7 machine with SSE2+ CPU. Avira still lists Windows XP in their System Requirements, but the Web page they referred me to does indeed show that Windows XP support ended on : Īs such, I've been trying out many of the other well-known free antivirus programs - AVG, Avast, BitDefender, Comodo, Panda, and one or two others - and Panda Free Antivirus is by far the least performance robbing of the bunch on my machine. I've been using Avira Free Antivirus for several years, but I've been experiencing minor problems with it recently (having anywhere from two to a hundred gavi3.db-related errors on my Event log at each and every start up) I reported the bug to Avira and they informed me that they've ended official support for Windows XP and will not be addressing the bug. Athlon XP 3000+ CPU (w/SSE but not SSE2 or above support)
