Internet-based installation:
For the Internet-based installation of the program, an installation program is
provided that loads the current program file prior to installation by the Avira
web servers. This process ensures that your Avira product is installed with
the latest virus definition file.
Installation with an installation package:
The installation package contains both the installation program and all
necessary program files. No language selection for your Avira product is
available for installation with an installation package. We recommend that
you carry out an update of the virus definition file after installation.
Note
For product activation, your Avira product uses the HTTP protocol and Port
80 (web communication), as well as encryption protocol SSL and port 443, to
communicate with the Avira servers. If you are using a firewall, please
ensure that the required connections and/or incoming or outgoing data are
not blocked by the firewall.
