WOW!!!
Thanks for all the feedback. It's great to see this kind of community support. I really do appreciate all the replies.
What exactly happened: I re-installed XP, all my software and lastly the Avira. Immediately I got 25 warnings. Although there is the option to ignore them this option doesn't seem to do anything. The same warnings kept coming back. Really ridiculous warning too: explorer.exe, notepad.exe you know... normal stuff. Not one of the buttons in the start menu would work! Not even task manager. Avira would beep nonstop!!
I don't know which version I downloaded. I googled Avira, went to the first site listed and downloaded. It looked legit to me but I didn't really study it if you know what I mean.
I won't be using Avira again any time soon. Please recommend free antivirus and any other system software that might be handy.
