Since the product update on Dec. the 8th, 2010, there have been problems of Avira AntiVir Desktop-Products in various development environments.

At the moment we analyze those support calls by customers. Affected are e.g. the following development environments:

• C++Builder 6
• Delphi 2004
• Delphi 7
• Visual Studio 2010

Please use the following workaround until we have solved the problem:

1. Open the configuration menu of Avira AntiVir by selecting “Extras → Configuration” and click on “Update”. There you uncheck the “Activate”-button in “Automatic Update”.
2. Please deactivate temporarily (in Expert mode) the option “Protect files and registry entries from manipulation” in “General → Security”.
3. Then please rename the file "C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\avipbb.sys" to “avipbb.sys.bak".
4. Now restart the computer and reactivate the protection for files and registry entries.

We will inform you in this article as soon as there is a patch available about this product update.

Update:

This workaround is not necessary anymore, since the corresponding patch can be applied from today with the automatic product update.

The following files are downloaded:
build.dat 10.0.0.959
avipbb.sys 10.0.22.22

Please reactivate the product update as mentioned in item 1 and run another update. The conflict with development environments shouldn’t occur anymore thereafter.
