    I just downloaded the new version of Antivir (7). Everything looks fine, except that when I performed my first scan, there were unopened files in the Report. It found two worms and i quarantined and deleted them. But when I looked at the report, there were 28 warnings. They all said "File could not be opened," and most of the filenames were from the "windows/system32" directory.

    What gives?

    It would be a lot more helpful if you told us what files could not be opened.

    Those are all protected system files that it should not be allowed to scan. Thus, there is nothing wrong with any of those warnings.
