Dear Avira users,
In order of our continous improvement of our software, Avira is going to upgrade the detection abilities for malicious homepages via a new heuristic.
To keep the rate of false-positives at a low level, we kindly request our interested board users to support us in this task.
A protection against millions of possible malicious homepages is unfortunately very hard and the surf behaviour can be vary extremely depending on each user.
We welcome everyone as a tester who surfs the internet a lot, especially on not very common homepages.
To take part in the test, please proceed through the following steps:
Note: Please don´t take part in the test if you use other operating systems than Windows XP or Windows 2000.
2. Installation of the new Engine 安装步骤
To install the beta-engine on your system, go through the following steps:
A) Rename the original version of the avewin32.dll, which is located at the installation directory of AntiVir, into avewin32.dll.old
重命名默认安装文件夹内的 avewin32.dll ，例如更名为 avewin32.dll.old
B) Copy the downloaded Version of the avewin32.dll into the installation directory of AntiVir
复制粘贴下载回来的新引擎 avewin32.dll 到安装文件夹中
C) Restart the System
重启
From now on, all homepages, which were detected by the new heuristic are reported with a „HTML/“ prefix. Whenever you have such a report, you should move it into quarantine and send it to us with the integrated „Send Object“ function for further analysis at our virus lab.
If you know the specific URL of the malicious homepage, please report it to us using the message field while sending objects out of the quarantine.
Note: Because the function of the new HTML-heuristic is not activated by standard in the released product, Antivir would replace the avewin32.dll with a new version without that function at every update.
To prevent this, the engine update will be not available. By using the beta-engine you will have access to the latest virus definitions. BUT: beta-testers will not have access to the generic and heuristic enhancements, which were added after the release of the test version.
To change back to the normal engine, please go through the following steps:
恢复原版引擎步骤
A) Rename the file avewin32.dll at the installation folder of AntiVir into avewin32.dll.test
重命名安装文件夹内的beta新引擎 avewin32.dll ，例如更名为 avewin32.dll.test
B) Rename the file avewin32.dll.old at the installation folder of AntiVir into avewin32.dll
将原来的引擎更名为 avewin32.dll，上面例子中是把 avewin32.dll.old 更名为 avewin32.dll
C) Perform a update of AntiVir
联网升级 Antivir
D) Restart the system
重启
E) Delete the file avewin32.dll.test at the AntiVir installation folder
删除更名后的新引擎，例子中的是 avewin32.dll.test
