I feel this is a morally wrong solution, avira not coming back till they fix this.

OK, I got things back (I think/hope) eventually.

I'm on Windows 8.1 and had 30000+ files in quarantine.

I disabled UAC completely.

In batches of about 600-800 a time I asked the files to be rescan-ed (F2). More at a time did not seem possible.

Once they were all done I restored (F3) all files to original location, again in batches. In this case it looks like I could have done them all at once. But I did in batches.

Then I deleted them all from the quarantine directory, in my case C:\ProgramData\Avira\Antivirus\INFECTED

And re-enabled UAC

Mathematica 11 works for me.

Hi stefan - isent you the log file to the mail. Hi Guy - by uninstalling avira did you recover the deleted files or you had to install them again?

Hi Stefan,

I uninstalled Avira, so am not able to provide the requested files, but perhaps one of the other people here can do it for you.

I am very sorry for the false positives!

Can you please send me your Avira logs (located in c:\ProgramData\Avira\Antivirus\LOGFILES) and 3-5 of the quarantined files (c:\ProgramData\Avira\Antivirus\INFECTED\ - .qua files) to

heuristik2@antivir.de

?

Also I need the full path where all those "suspicious file" detections are/were located.

Regards, Stefan Kurtzhals
