  Hello Husam,

   

  Don't worry the Gjallahorn is not a virus but actually part of our Antivirus.

  It's the name for our USB-Scanner that is integrated in your Avira Antivirus Pro service.

  Sorry for the misunderstanding and best regards,

  Hello,

  To inform you, during the process, I click deny when macOS ask to authorize Gjallahorn (I think for file access), no Avira window open.

  It then crash every ~minute, even after reboot.

  I delete most Avira parts using AppCleaner.

  Still crashing, I use Find Any File app and saw the A. Uninstaller.. at last

  https://support.avira.com/hc/en-us/articles/360000340938

  does not mention that the A. uninstaller is in Utilities folder....

  correct the web page

  add a menu uninstall in the "installer" app in case of problem like mine

  and an alias in App folder

  thanks

  Forgot, rename Gjallahorn, I was also thinking it is an unwanted app/virus, even if the name can be "spoof" at least it avoids panic.
