I'm running Avira free edition, and starting on the 24th of November, the daily scans have found viruses almost every day. They are all either "System Volume Information - restore" files or HP printer driver files. Can you shed any light on why this is happening? Do the HP printer files "go bad"? I've had some of them for quite a long time and never had any problem with them.

Appreciate any help you can give me!

Thanks,
Laura
