Avira not protecting windows 11 hosts file
Completed
On all my windows 10 machines, if I try to edit the hosts file, Avira blocks the edit, and there's an option to disable this protection.
On my windows 11 and windows server 2022 machines. Avira doesn't even block the hosts file being changed, and I dont get the same "manage" Avira screen when going into the settings.
I've tried uninstalling/reinstalling, and Ive tried using the same installer I used on a win10 machine which is doing the blocking.
