Avira AntiVir 9.0 released


Recommended Posts

Just installed it on build 7057 x86. Seems to run great except for the huge Upgrade to Avira Premium popup when I updated lol. Anyway to stop that from happening?

You need to prevent avnotify.exe from starting. You could just rename the file or:

go to Local Security Policy > Software Restriction Policies > Additional Rules and set up a new hash rule for the avnotify.exe process

Any reason why I should use this over Avast Pro, which I'm happy with? Some screenshots would be nice, too. Thanks!

Avira has scored slightly higher detection rates in tests recently and is said to have lower resource usage, although I only notice a minimal if any difference in system speed when using Avira instead of Avast.

Avira 9s interface changes have been minimal - there's some screenshots here.

The biggest changes for me are the added Adware and Spyware detection, and the scanner doesn't stop each time it detects something now - it reports them all at the end and asks you what you want to do - at last! It always used to annoy me when I'd leave a scan running overnight to find it had stopped only a short way in because it thought it had found something.

Thanks for posting that! Does Avira have an audible virus alert when a virus is found? Also, is there an audible alert when it updates? I like being able to hear that my virus definitions have been updated. I also like hearing I have a virus, but only cause I'm secure that Avast will get rid of it.

    • No, "a great deal" for 32GB of DDR5 is $50, not $350. I mean I see what you mean, that it's a decent price compared to what's currently available, but you really should put a disclaimer in this articles explaining that it's still multiple times more expensive than it used to be.
    • Linux 7.1 stable launch looms as Linus Torvalds releases the final release candidate by Paul Hill Linus Torvalds has just released what’s expected to be the final release candidate of Linux 7.1, rc7. The Linux founder said that this RC is not small, but smaller than recent releases, which is a good sign because he expects the stable version to drop next week if things continue on this trajectory. Linux kernels see a merge window for the first two weeks of their life, where developers add new features, then there are about seven or eight weeks of release candidates before the stable version. Typically, there are seven release candidates, but if more time is needed, then an eighth release candidate is released too. This week’s RC’s biggest area of fixes was for GPUs, with networking just behind. Torvalds said that the rest of the release was “pretty random and spread out” with some architecture fixes, driver fixes, filesystem improvements, and build fixes for more unusual configs. In terms of specific pieces of hardware receiving improvements in this update, we had more AMD Zen6 models supported and fixes for AMD SDMA 7.1 and GFX11. Hardware that got improvements includes Lenovo laptops, HONOR laptops, and MSI laptops. Here are the changelogs for those: ASoC: amd: acp: Add DMI quirk for Lenovo Yoga Pro 7 15ASH11 Input: atkbd - add DMI quirk for Lenovo Yoga Air 14 (83QK) Input: atkbd - skip deactivate for HONOR BCC-N's internal keyboard ASoC: amd: yc: Add MSI Raider A18 HX A9WJG to quirk table ASoC: amd: yc: Enable internal mic on MSI Bravo 17 C7VF When the stable Linux 7.1 is released, it will be up to distribution maintainers, such as Canonical and Red Hat, to release the update to their users via the update manager. Some versions of Linux will get it before others, and some will never get it at all. Fedora and Arch-based distros will be among the first to get it, though. If you don’t get it, the security fixes will be backported to your system’s kernel, so you won’t be at risk, but you won’t get newer hardware support, which is fine if your computer works now.
