MacOS Big Sur hangs with Avira Free Security RTP activated
Completed
Hello,
Avira Free Security causes my Mac to hang for an extended period of time. The only solution I found is to deactivate RTP. The issue is very reproducible.
Thought this issue might have been specific to my environment, however I just performed a clean install of MacOS 11.3 with a new user account folder. Today I reinstalled Avira and the Mac started freezing again.
Is this a known issue? Can you please help?
Many thanks.

Hello Max,
This is not often described or even a known problem.
Before we try to find other sources of error, you have reinstalled to macOS 11.3. Have you already tried to install to macOS 11.3.1?
https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT212335If you have any further questions, information about your Mac and your exact Avira setup procedure would be very helpful.
If anything is still unclear, please let us know, and we will be happy to help.
Best regards

Hi there.
I can confirm this BIG issue!
My Mac was hanging every day 1-2 times and no keys were working. Only hard restart could help.
I tried everything! Deleted and reinstalled almost all Apps! The issue was still there.
Sometimes it could freeze without any reason (no new programs starting, only at the text writing or site viewing).
BUT almost every time it was hanging after sleep mode (close the mac).
I thought already to buy new mac, because my is corrupted...
But after DELETING your Avira, everything is fine!
Please solve it. It's a BIGGEST ISSUE I EVER HAVE HAD!!!

me too on this - it seems to be Avira RTP that's been causing daily freezes of my iMac Pro running Big Sur. You guys might want to check into this.

Avira Prime also hangs up my system when update runs - Big Sur11.4.
The only way to clear it is to do a hard restart - really not impressed!

The issue seems to have been corrected for me with Avira 1.7.4. Thanks a lot!

My M1 MacBook Air hangs whenever I wake it up from sleep in the morning.
Disabling Avira RTP eliminates the problem.

You have made a new installation, was everything removed by Avira before? Did Avira work perfectly before the new installation?
