I’m denying access to all alerts. How can i fix this problem. Is my computer still vulnerable for a attack with a windows firewall and Avira Antivirus Personal? Can anyone help me?Any excellent programs or firewalls out there?

I’ve been removing malware for over a decade and know what works, and what doesn’t. If you really can’t spend any money, get Microsoft Security Essentials. It competes with the paid software and will detect all types of malware.
AVG- Lacks rootkit detection, which is critical. I’ve had clients come in complaining AVG won’t update because it had been hijacked.
Avast- No proactive protection, such as HIPS or heuristics. This is also critical since it WILL NOT protect you against new/unknown malware.
Avira- Displays a lot of ads to pay for the free version. It also struggles to detect adware and some forms of spyware (like rogues).
You get what you pay for. If you can afford it, I highly recommend buying Norton Internet Security 2009 or Kaspersky Internet Security 2009. Both programs have far stuck-up detection rates compared to AVG, Avast or Avira.

I reflect you may be infected. You don’t say what your alerts are. Avira is a excellent program. Windows firewall will protect you from inbound attacks. But if your infected Windows firewall will not protect you from your information getting out. You need to start your computer is safe mode and run a scan with Avira. See what it finds and if it’s able to remove everything. If not go to download.com and get Malwarebytes anti-malware it’s free and a excellent removal program. In fact it’s a excellent thought to have Malwarebytes on your computer, for tough removals that avira may not be able to handle.
