| Good suggestion. I will focus on the problem of can't download updates
| for any AV or Anti-Malware Product (rather than constantly Installing/
| Uninstalling).

| ****IF I can manually get completely updated AV dat files from avira's
| website burned onto a CD from another computer--assuming you guys
| think that might work--do I simply insert CD with updated files from
| the other (clean) computer into this (compromised) CD drive to
| identify and eradicate the invader or is not that "simple"?*****

| Once I somehow get the updated files--by now I assume they have all
| identified this "thing" --I hope it will then be completely removable
| and in the future I will be able to get updates routinely when
| prompted(or automatically). Please let me know your thoughts.

| I guess I'm still having trouble realizing that ALL update functions
| from all AVs and all A-Malwares can be completely blocked from
| working. I had just assumed they all are updated via different paths/
| protocols/urls or whatever. Ongoing thanks guys.

Suggestion:

Get guided assistance with the problem.

I think I'm getting closer to solution....again. I went to Avira
homepage and downloaded a zip file called AntiVir VDF update (so
called multiple VDF update with up to 32 files) It is described as an
incremental Antivirus Update to be used with my already installed
Avira AV Personal Product.

But now what (I told you guys I'm help/clue less)?

I extracted the file and saved it to my documents but how do I get
these now apparently updated dat files (through today) to integrate
with my Avira engine, then do a search, presumably/hopefully find the
"thing" and then eradicate it, so that future (automatic) updates will
be performed without having the file update function disabled?

I have updated DAT files from Avira but no idea what to do next. My
usual gracious thanks in advance (have to sign off for the evening
now).

Do not unzip or unpack the downloaded file. Start Avira and click on the
Update tab on top and then choose Manual.
A box will open up and just point it to where you saved that file. Then
select Open and it should update automatically.
Buffalo
PS: Do not unpack or unzip the downloaded file first.

Wipe and reinstall and start over... Sorry.
