Avira AntiVir free Antivirus program freezes my pc

Hi to all.

Whenever I run a complete scan with the subject program, my pc freezes when scan is about half way finished. Prior to about 4 days ago, the scan always used to run completely..

Also, whenever I go to the following link and click on any topic in the message board my pc freezes. These are the main 2 programs that causes a freeze, but sometimes Internet Explorer freezes up also.

Any help would be much appreciated.

 

Have you tried to uninstall AntiVir and reinstall it, to see if that will fix it.??

 

Thanks Centurion, I thought about doing this, will try it and advise.

 

Well, I tried un-installng and re-installing and I finally got it to work..

I am not fully satisfied with it as I tried many times before it worked ... its like I had to play a trick on it...

Most of these programs can run while you are doing other work on your pc ... Avira used to work this way as well, but this time I had to let it run by itself without doing anything else on the pc.

 

Thanks Pete, will look into this, but will give Avira a further chance, maybe it will be ok.
