Windows 7 Another Ooops

Trouble

For all fans / users of Avira, seems like they've sent out a problematic update which is causing some problems.
Looks like the impact is to their commercial "paid for" version and there is no mention of their free version in the article.

Seems like everyone gets their turn in the barrel as this type of thing has happened in the past to a lot of top tier Antivirus vendors often retail and free versions are impacted.
There is some mention of a workaround in the article and a possible fix pending.
Best of luck
 
Just another of these "things"... I don't have Avira, I've had it earlier, now I have the paid-for Avast Internet Security. But I remember when ZoneAlarm was muted by a Windows XP update.

Seems we have these problems now and then, here and there. Could someone write a software that would check software updates so that these wouldn't create problems with existing softwares. Gosh, I almost got lost there. :confused:
