If you are using Avira AntiVir version 9 and are using Windows Vista / Windows 7, there is a problem with the way the antivirus program update itself.

Apparently, the update module of the antivirus will try to establish a connection using IPv6 with a higher priority than IPv4. In Windows Vista / Windows 7, both of the internet protocol are enabled by default on the network adapter. Please open up the properties of the network adapter that you use to connect to the internet and untick the checkbox for IPv6. Avira should update itself right now.

If you are on Windows XP, it might have IPv6 enabled depending on system's configuration. By default, IPv6 was not installed on Windows XP. Service Pack 2 onwards does include the support for this protocol. Follow the same procedure as above by opening up the network adapter properties and untick the checkbox for IPv6.

IPv6 is the latest internet protocol that will replace IPv4 but not so soon. As most ISP currently support IPv4, IPv6 will be supported in the future depending on how fast the current address range for IPv4 runs out.

thanks, il give a try on it.

The NOOB ques: btw, can i know how to trace the posts i made on any thread (both replied and new topic)? coz im having dificulty not rememberin the threads i post. Any build in feature in the forum that gives access to this? I do know about the "My Assistant" stuff though. Other than that?

u can update manually..try this website..www.majorgeeks.com.n find the update file for avira..browse urself ok..

guys,after dl this antiv,it seems that it update every single day,what they update everyday and is it normal?

Can u post a screen shot, cos i could not find the IPv6 for xp sp2
Thanks

this part i don't understand, how to delete

* The command to add an address has the form of “add address [interface=]<string> [address=]<IPv6 Adress>”

a. Example: add address interface="Local Area Connection 2" 2001:1945:feed:deef::1

If I untick the IPv6 box, will Avira update faster? Lately my Avira's updating speed damn slow la.

Not really. It might help on some XP systems through where there is no native IPv6 stack.
