Avira AntiVir: No feedback - what to do?

This guide shows you what to do if Avira AntiVir reports "no feedback".

You can do that: AntiVir does not give any feedback

Malware may prevent AntiVir from running.

• Switch off Avira AntiVir briefly in the settings. Download and install the Malwarebytes Anti Malware tool. Then run a check with the program. You can read in detail how to do this in this practical tip.
• Also check whether other antivirus programs such as Windows Defender are running in the background. If this is the case, end it.
• If these tips do not help, a complete reinstallation of Avira can help. Uninstall the program using the control panel and then delete all remaining data and folders manually.
• Tip: Close all programs in the background during a scan with AntiVir to avoid errors.
• You should also note that a check can sometimes take several hours - depending on the type of scan and location, as well as the size of the hard drive.
• Note: This practical tip is based on Avira AntiVir 14.0.6 under Windows 7.
