UBCD 5.0.3 - Contained Avira hangs when pressing "Update"
Posted: Thu Apr 07, 2011 1:28 am
As of UBCD 5.0.3 the contained Avira AntiVir Rescue System is very buggy.
As soon as you press the "Update" tab, the program gets unresponsive, only a cold reboot helps.
Without the update function, a static anti-malware system is practically useless, as the virus definitions are outdated.
Note: The affected computer did not have a wired internet connection. Maybe that was the cause?
However, I downloaded the newest Avira AntiVir Rescue System from their website, for me this was v3.7.16-20110406132449, and this version worked fine! Was always responsive and also the update function worked, provided a wired internet connection existed.
