Avira products

Please let us inform you, that we have discovered two conflicts with Avira products:

• If Avira Antivir Premium or Avira Premium Security Suite is installed, exploits are not being caught by AVG LinkScanner, but by Avira's component WebGuard. To allow AVG LinkScanner catch exploits, please disable the WebGuard component in the Avira application.
• If a long link is scanned by AVG LinkScanner, you may face a "Buffer overrun detected!" error. This issue is caused by Avira's layered service provider avsda.dll. The only solution is to uninstall the Avira application
