Cytat: Avira has sent out a defective antivirus update that is causing paid versions of its product to block critical Windows processes and third-party software, effectively rendering millions of PCs unusable.
German security company Avira is experiencing serious technical difficulties. A defective antivirus update that has been downloaded millions of times is bringing Windows XP, Windows Vista, and Windows 7 computers to a screeching halt across the world, according to user reports (1, 2).
The update bumps the software version to 8.2.10.64 and the definitions file to 7.11.30.24. The result is that the AntiVirProActiv component starts detecting critical processes as malware, including the following:
\windows\system32\dllhost.exe
\windows\system32\explorer.exe
\windows\system32\iexplorer.exe
\windows\system32\notepad.exe
\windows\system32\regedit.exe
\windows\system32\rundll32.exe
\windows\system32\taskeng.exe
\windows\system32\wuauclt.exe
Those are just some of the false detected Windows processes. Avira sometimes kills them and stops Windows from booting, but that’s not the end of it.
The update is also blocking other Microsoft software (such as Microsoft Office and Microsoft Works) as well as various third-party applications, including Byki 4 Express, Documents To Go, Garmin, Google Talk, iPod and Palm services, Opera, OpenDNS Updater, Polipo, Shadow, Stickies, and many others. In other words, almost every executable file is being falsely detected by this update.
(...)
Avira was unable to get an exact estimate of the number computers affected by this problem.
“We contacted all of our users to let them know about our fix to the ProActiv situation this morning,” Avira COO Travis Witteveen said in a statement. “The issue only arose on 32bit windows premium, suite and professional products, whom had ProAktiv turned on (by default ProAktiv is a opt-in feature, so the infected base was not the entire base). We do not know the exact number of those impacted, but we are confident we reacted immediately and communicated thoroughly.”
