Thanks for the info.
I still STRONGLY believe that Avira should post the minimum system
requirements for the free antii-virus on their home page, or at least on
their download page, so that other don't have waste their time trying an
Avira product that won't work in their system. Totally getting rid of a
previous anti-virus program is time comsuming. Add-Remove only does a so-so
job.
Thanks for the links.
