Did you ever check for system log events??
Did you ever check for system log events??
I suspect that is what Avira support collector is doing now. Occasional errors going back in time nothing specific
1. Are these warnings present in system log?Source: avgntflt
Description: TIMEOUT<csrss.exe> C:\Program Files (x86)\Avira\Antivirus\somemodule.dll
2. If yes, what is datetime stamp of the most recent occurrence?
Event log
Windows / Application / user profile service – today – rest are mid March.
Windows / Set up / error / WUSA – likely the day updated with KB4493509./ none today
Windows / System / distributed COM / today / error - likely the day updated with KB4493509 as well with Service Control Manager
Administrative events as above - daily as far back as system update by MS
givin up :(
so have I - definitely some events on date of update with KB4493509 - the rest post consequential?
yup, I'd ditch Avira and go with another reliable AV like Kaspersky 2019, which seemed to have released a 1903/19H1 compatible patch a day before the KB4493509 update for v1809 came out. it'll be weeks before avira would even release an updated version that would be compatible with the upcoming 1903 release
Just my two cents on that.
I've been using Windows Defender (and its older sibling Microsoft Security Essentials, during the W7 era), without any issue at all, for at least 9 years. It serves the purpose and I don't see any reason, why pay the premium AVs to do the exact same thing + add headaches.
As a side note, the last 4 years I also added Malwarebytes in the equation and I'm more than pleased with their performance.
