File Category: App scripts

Avira AntiVir Personal is a reliable free antivirus solution that offers basic protection against viruses, worms, Trojans, rootkits, adware, and spyware. For personal use only, and not for business or commercial use.

Script Features:

• Support for Avira 2013
• Multi-Language Support
• Fully configurable auto-download Program and Definition updates
• Update definitions within PE
• Shell integration (right-click scanning)
• Real-time protection (optional)
• Support for manual proxy options
• Support for scan exclusions
• run from CD or USB
• Support for 32bit and x64 PE

Requirements:

• Avira requires the Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Runtime. Make sure you enable it! If your project does not provide a script you can use the button on the script interface to download the runtime for Vista/Win7 based PE.

Confirmed working with:

• Win7PE_SE
• Win8PE_SE

Should work with:

• VistaPE
• Gena

Known issues:

• Tray Icon is broken in PE even if you do a clean install in PE with the Avira Installer
• Updating from inside PE takes alot of memory! Make sure your PC has at least 2GB RAM available to ensure success.

enjoy!

Thanks to everyone who helped make this script possible and provided requests and bug reports. Special thanks to ChrisR and 2aCD for all the time spent contributing code, feedback and bug squashing!

Hi brol33,

I'll take a look at the error tomorrow. (its 8:00pm here) and see if i can spot anything. could you post your full log?

also if you use code tags around your wb code it makes it much eaiser to read..

Hello.
All my excuses that a modified version that causes an error.
Original script tests with windows 7 SP0 and SP1 MSDN no error.
Avira available in several languages.
The database of virus signatures is language neutral.
With the following modifications :

 

%DownloadProgramURL%=http://dlce.antivir.com/package/wks_avira/win32/fr/pecl/avira_antivir_personal_fr.zip

 

//DirDelete,"%GlobalTemplates%\%ProgramFolder%\en-us",Fast

 

RegWrite,HKLM,0x1,"%reg%%WowNode%\X-AVCSD\Workstation\AntiVir Desktop","Lang","FR"

 

No error.
thank you for updating this script and Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime 2010.

[homes32]

thanks for the update.
multi language looks doable. do you know where I can find a list of supported languages?

[homes32]

ok I think i got a list of languages...should be able to post something monday.

[homes32]

version 2 uploaded and contains multi-language support!

[ChrisR]

Thanks for multilanguage support

your welcome. I'm glad its useful.

Hi Home32,
I have a few improvements for your very good script.
Here is the solution for the update-function on x64-systems.
The following files are missing on x64. I have modified the script:

...

// Vista/Win7 x64

FileCopy,"%Target_Prog%%ProgramFolder%vista64*.*",%Target_Prog%%ProgramFolder%

require_file,fltLib.dll

require_file,wtsapi32.dll

require_file,msv1_0.dll

require_file,security.dll

End

...

Now Update is working.

I would think it is good if there is an additional option in the script for 'Download Program only'. This save spaces. The download of the current databases can then be made live.
For the sheduler-start I have the idea with autoit-script.

if $CmdLine[0] > 0 Then

	 $Prg = $CmdLine[1]

EndIf



Run ("""" & $Prg & """")

Run ("net start AntiVirSchedulerService","",@SW_HIDE)

The autoit-StartAvira.exe (def as Variable %ProgramStartEXE%) you can use for the shortcuts with %ProgramEXE% as parameter:

If,%CB_DT_Shortcut%,Equal,True,Add_Shortcut,Desktop,,"%PE_Programs%%ProgramFolder%%ProgramStartEXE%",,,"#$q%PE_Programs%%ProgramFolder%%ProgramEXE%#$q"

If,%CB_QL_Shortcut%,Equal,True,Add_Shortcut,QuickLaunch,,"%PE_Programs%%ProgramFolder%%ProgramStartEXE%",,,"#$q%PE_Programs%%ProgramFolder%%ProgramEXE%#$q"

If,%CB_SM_Shortcut%,Equal,True,Add_Shortcut,StartMenu,%IN_StartMenuFolder%,"%PE_Programs%%ProgramFolder%%ProgramStartEXE%",,,"#$q%PE_Programs%%ProgramFolder%%ProgramEXE%#$q"

So is not needed the separate shortcut for starting sheduler.
Its only a idea.

many greetings

require_file,wtsapi32.dll

require_file,msv1_0.dll

require_file,security.dll

thank you very much for finding these dependencies!

already implemented. the Never download Updates option will only download the program.

For the sheduler-start I have the idea with autoit-script.

if $CmdLine[0] > 0 Then

	 $Prg = $CmdLine[1]

EndIf

Its only a idea.

Currently the start menu shortcut for starting the scheduler is only created if the user unchecked "Autostart service" but your idea adds a level of transparency to the process if the user chooses not to automatically start the service. I'll see about getting this in...

thanks for the feedback!

Hi Home32,

already implemented. the Never download Updates option will only download the program.

Oh sorry , I dont see it.

I still have another small improvement:

Avira dont use systemsettings for Proxy. So I add proxysettings for Script:

[Interface]

...

Proxy_Enable="Enable Proxy",1,3,19,341,200,18,False

Proxy_Address=Address,1,0,19,387,126,21,address

Proxy_Port=Port,1,0,160,387,100,21,port

Proxy_Login=Loginname,1,0,19,429,126,21,login

Proxy_Password=Password,1,0,160,429,381,21,crypeted PW

Proxy_pTextLabel1="If proxy need credentials, set loginname and password. Read crypted password from Life-CD: #$qX:ProgramData%ProgramFolder%CONFIGAVWIN.INI#$q",1,1,249,342,293,44,8,Normal

Proxy_pBevel1=pBevel1,1,12,12,332,540,126

[process]

...

If,%Proxy_Enable%,Equal,true,Run,%ScriptFile%,Proxy,"%TargetDir%ProgramData%ProgramFolder%CONFIGAVWIN.INI"



[Proxy]

FileCreateBlank,#1

IniAddSection,#1,"UPDATE"

IniWrite,#1,"UPDATE","ProxyEnabled","1"

IniWrite,#1,"UPDATE","ProxyAddress","%Proxy_Address%"

IniWrite,#1,"UPDATE","ProxyPort","%Proxy_Port%"

IniWrite,#1,"UPDATE","ProxyLogin","%Proxy_Login%"

IniWrite,#1,"UPDATE","ProxyPwd","%Proxy_Password%"

//only update Databases

IniWrite,#1,"UPDATE","ProductUpdateMode","2"

The proxy-settings in Avira you find under configurations-update (switch to expertmode)
I find it is a little improvement for useres with proxy.

many greetings

[homes32]

updated to version 3 to fix the x64 update
will save your considerations for next version.

what do your mean about Avira not using the system proxy. by default I see Avira has a setting to use the system proxy. does it not correctly pull the information from windows?

yes avira pull not the correctly informations from system. No update works, if systemproxy enabled, only with defined proxy in avira.

I have also another little cosmetical problem. The fonts are very little. I have copy all fonts but they are not bigger.



Do you reproduce this?

Project: Win7PE_SE
Source: Win7EntSP1_DE or EN

yes.
I get the same font sizes with Win7PE_SE and Win7Pro x86/x64 source

[mschwarz999]

when the font is to small, you must enable "additional Fonts", i think in "components". then it has the right size.

You don't need all font...

greetings... (ups my english is horrible)

Project: Win7PE_SE
Source: Win7ProSP1_DE x86

confirmed. thanks for the report!

[2aCD]

Thanks mschwarz999 for the hint.
I have also test it with enabled additional fonts. Only MS Sans Serif is needed to resolve the problem.
I would this write to requirements.

Now it is perfect

Avira Free Antivirus 2012 is released with a new name, a new interface and bigger.

I hope we will have soon a new script compatible with this very good and free AV

[homes32]

yep. have the script updated for awhile but still having some troubles with getting the update services to start (again!) so currently definition updates won't work from PE. they switched from using VC2008 to VC2010 and must have changed some other things in the process.
I can send the script to you/and/or/2aCD if you want to have a look at it.

regards,
Homes32

Not sure I have a lot of time the next days but I can try.
2aCD uses it too, I'm sure he's able to help.

Good night
Chris
