New Avira install with Unknown Guard status

    XP Pro SP3

    Had to reinstall Windows and everything else due to software conflict (I think)
    that locked everything up.

    So got XP, PC Tools Firewall Plus, and Firefox going, then downloaded the latest
    Avira Free. It updated fine, but I can't get the Guard to go active - it just says "Unknown" and I can't find anything in the Help that helps.

    Any ideas?

    Thanks!

    I'd have to do the same thing you can do> Go to Avira Support or their forum.

    If you find that malware is indicated, then come back here and we'll check it out.
