8.01: Avira "Failed to get scanner instance"

Hello Folks!

Something ssems to have broken avira-engine, maybe a defective pattern-update.

Out of the blue, clients are reporting, that the webproxy is returning this error message which can also be found in the http-proxy log:

2010:09:04-12:23:44 httpproxy[4889]: id="0003" severity="info" sys="SecureWeb" sub="http" request="0x94fcc00" function="avira_scan" file="avirascanner.c" line="380" message="failed to get scanner instance"

The current pattern version is: 20096

Can anyone else confirm this?

    Could this be fixed by a pattern-update or will I need to reinstall?

    Thanks a lot!
