Went to do a full scan but it got stuck on 1% complete. Switched to quick scan and the same thing. Can do a smart scan though.

Can update my Avira though.  What is going on ?

Second big issue with my antivirus in a few months. First was could not scan at all.

 

Thanks

  Hello Roger,

  Unfortunately, you have not given us any information about your operating system (version number) or your Avira license. After updates, there can always be difficulties with the installation. Unfortunately, we do not have access to your customer account from here, the publicly accessible community.

  Sometimes a repair installation will be helpful:
  Repair your Avira Security for Windows – Official Avira Support | Knowledgebase & Customer Support | Avira

  Or an uninstallation:
  Uninstallation of Avira for Windows – Official Avira Support | Knowledgebase & Customer Support | Avira

  followed - after a restart - by a new installation:
  How do I reinstall my activated Avira product? – Official Avira Support | Knowledgebase & Customer Support | Avira

  Premium customers with a valid license can contact the support team from their customer directly account under "SUPPORT".
  If anything is still unclear, please let us know, we will be pleased to help.

  Many greetings and a nice weekend

  Thank you Pascha 45

  I did not give enough information unfortunately. I will look into it and give you what I can here. It still is stuck on 1% and nothing i can do about it unless I do as you suggest.

  I know I updated the Avira then attempted  a scan and this occurred.  I use windows 10 and it is the free version but that is not enough I know.

  Thanks

  Roger

  Hello Roger,

  You're very welcome. Thank you for your feedback. 
  Since you have the Free version, it is important to know what troubleshooting activities you have already initiated.

  The repair installation:

  How do I reinstall my activated Avira product? – Official Avira Support | Knowledgebase & Customer Support | Avira

  the uninstallation:

  Uninstallation of Avira for Windows – Official Avira Support | Knowledgebase & Customer Support | Avira

  and then - after the reboot - the reinstallation:

  How do I reinstall my activated Avira product? – Official Avira Support | Knowledgebase & Customer Support | Avira

  We can't recommend more than that, if we don't have your installation data, unfortunately there is no access to support in the free version. Let's hope that a measure will correct your installation.

  If anything is still unclear, please let us know, we will be pleased to help.

  Kind regards and a nice weekend.

  Thank you Pascha45

  I have good news. I did as you suggested and repaired my Avira. It worked and now all is working as it should. That is all I had to do. What a neat trick. No uninstalling or reinstalling,  just repair.

  Wow!!!

  And for all those suffering the same . Here is a good solution.  Thanks, Roger
