[QUOTE="lascetic, post: 28358, member: 879"] Thank you for the interesting information on this thread. What worries me a little bit is that there is some contradictory information on the internet about disabling avnotify.exe. For example [url=http://www.processlibrary.com/directory/files/avnotify/27200/]here[/url] it says: "avnotify.exe is a process belonging to Avira Internet Security Suite which protects your computer against Internet-bound threats such as spyware and trojans which can be distributed through e-mail or attack directly to the computer allowing unauthorized access to your computer. [b]This program is important for the stable and secure running of your computer and should not be terminated[/b]. " However, it is not clear if it is referring to avnotify or to Avira itself. Then there is [url=http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/topic424974.html]this link[/url] that says: "You may not receive popups that could be alerting you of malicious websites or files that could potentially be downloading." I really don't know how reliable are these statements. So, I was wondering if there is anyone who can confirm that disabling avnotify.exe won't cause any risk to my computer. I am referring to Avira free antivirus 12 (which is currently the latest version). I have windows 7 x64 [/QUOTE]
