I am keeping my Windows 8 retail w/o upgrading it to Windows 10 for my new build before July 2016 free Windows 10 upgrade offer ends. On my current build, my Windows 10 Professional installation is activated based on my previous Microsoft Insider Windows 10 install.
I have switched off automatic updates. The Windows 10 fresh install is from the same place everyone else got theirs but my machine is activated based on my being a Windows Insider.
As you know your activation is stored in the cloud permanently so my Windows 10 activated based on that.
Avira designated a program like ImgBurn as a virus. Well not a virus but
[PluginsDir]/OCSetupHlp.dll]
[DETECTION] Contains patterns of software PUA/OpenCandy.Gen
I complained to Avira and Avira said:
So I then asked ImgBurn to do sometthing about it:
http://forum.imgburn.com/index.php?...cially-confirmed-as-a-virus-by-avira-antivir/
a-n-y-w-a-y
The setup file is inside many folders all over my multiple hard drives.
Here's the kicker. Avira is *randomly* finding it and popping up a red virus warning.
But I have set Avira NOT to do any system scans, only Real-Time Protection.
So only if a virus is being interacted with, [by me for example opening a folder containing an infected file] does the Real-Time Protection kick in and display the red virus/malware intercept pop-up.
Well what is scanning the Windows 10 system if
A. Avira is only set to do Real-Time Protection and *not* scan the system on its own, ever.
B. Windows 10 indexing is completely off.
C. Everything else as far as Windows 10 privacy is concerned has been manually turned off by me, I was pretty comprehensive about it:

This is a very fresh install, that I continuously reimaged as I edited my Windows 10.
There is not a single program installed on my Windows 10 that I don't have already installed on my Windows 8 and other OS on my multi-boot where nothing like this is going on... My system is clean.
So it has to be Avira scanning the system and then only on Windows 10 even though I specifically turned off any daily/weekly/ever scans.
OR
It is Windows 10, scanning my entire system somehow even though I turned off all Indexing (which is easy to confirm 100%).
I also turned off all hard drive optimization settings.
I just thought I would share this.
With the exception of ability to record a TV signal, Windows 10 is working ok, although I did have to set some exe files in a Compatibility Mode to make them work...

I complained to Avira and Avira said:
The file 'SetupImgBurn_2580.exe' has been determined to be 'RISK'. Our analysts named the threat PUA/OpenCandy.Gen. This class of detection flags, Potentially Unwanted Applications (PUA), may compromise the user’s privacy and the security of the local system.
These are legitimate applications that often try to use social engineering to make the user install additional offers during the installation of the software the user originally wanted.
A PUA classification of an application is the result of software, an advert or a website exhibiting one or more offending behaviors and/or properties. A full PUA list is available at http://www.avira.com/en/potentially-unwanted-applications.
This detection doesn't mean that the file is malicious. However, if the file was installed on the system without the user's knowledge, the user’s privacy or system secur ity might be compromised.
Disabling this detection is only recommended for advanced users that understand the risks and how to use these applications. This file is detected by a special detection routine from the engine module.
