Avira seems to be working around this; I’ve been struggling with constant program updates even though I’ve set the settings to disallow them…seems Avira is creating avnotify.exe.fallback and avnotify.dll.fallback in its program directory with ALLOW in my Win7 64x machine, and I assume replacing them at reboot.

I’ve set _these_ to DENY for all users, but haven’t restarted yet so not sure what will happen. Also not sure what would happen if a schedule trigger was set as admin to delete these files at shutdown if they exist…

You can also disable the ads by adding avnotify.exe to the blocked applications/files of your firewall HIPS… This is a workaround for Vista/7 users who use a Admin account as their main (as you simply can’t block a file for an Admin user under Permissions). Of course, the more sensible thing to do is have a limited account for your day to day use (see above) but, what the heck, it’s even more safe to have a Linux distribution as OS. Plus I like fiddling around on a regular basis, and I haven’t had an infection for at least a year. Of course, having a firewall/HIPS, Malware remover and script blocker for your browser helps… I use Comodo, Spybot S&D, and Mozilla firefox + NoScript, respectively.
Freeware is democracy in code…. Power to the Masses!

Brilliant, have been using this anti-virus program for sometime and hate the annoying add, we have windows 7 and the tweaks seem to be working fine

I believe that avira has a registry entry remover for its products for those who had issues with removal though i havent tried it. Could be wrong but i also thought notifier doubled as the further info provider on found viruses ??
