Avira gives 54 warnings! Massimo 06-20-2009

Hello,

After having scanned certain disc for rootkits and found nothing,
Avira advised me to do a (rootkit)scan of the system partition. I made
the scan and was somewhat alarmed to find 54 (!) warnings in the
scanreport. Would somebody please give his/her comment on this?

the warnings are Windows protected files that Avira can't probe. Avira won't
answer Vista's question to 'Confirm or Deny' so it moves to the next file
unanswered and gives you a warning.

Thank you for reassuring me.:-)
However, this is strange because I do a Avira-scan about one time a
week and it never gave so many warnings before.
