Yeah I used the special beta key. Very odd.

When clicking Update the net icon goes yellow and I can't update.

Think I'm just going to wait till final to test this. Don't mind me.

Avira has setup the webpage for the 2012 version....And here it is : http://www.avira.com/en/avira-version2012-premium-upsell

frHOI.png


All that Avira has to do now is to upload the final built to their servers, once that will be done , users will be able to download Avira Premium 2012 from here : http://personal.avira-update.com/package/webloader/win32/isec/avira_internet_security.exe (Not active yet)

So will anyone use Avira 2012 as protection for their system?

I only tested it like 3 days that it had update issues.
Nothing major under the hood basically performance improvements.

Maybe try it again with the final...soon.
