Avira antivirus not updating

For Windows users, the easiest way is to right-click the Avira icon in the taskbar and select Start update.

I cannot update Avira, even when I disactivate the firewall Avira Free Antivirus Updater : The update failed! Last time I switched on the ***** thing was 5 days ago, and then it updated.

Now, there is an additional issue bothering my Windows.

When I start the upgrade procedure, it asks to uninstall Avira Anti Vir because it's not compatible with the upgrade.

I use to use AVG and if this problem persists I'm going to try the new version that is out.

First, remember where the Avira servers are and as such, time your updates when the rest of the world is not online.. Second, it's also fairly easy to manually update Avira by clicking on the link below, then click on the "Download IVDF (Unicode)" link in the middle of the page, then download the update file (it's a file) to your desktop.
