    The following message appears when installing the Avira Free Antivirus:

    “Avira has identified potential incompatible software on your computer.

    The following programs are installed on your computer and may cause incompatibility problems with the Avira security solution.
    To ensure the stability of your computer, we recommend you uninstall these programs.

    Most likely you have 64 bit windows and that will not work on it for some reason.
    Get rid of SpywareBlaster

    And use
    SUPERAntiSpy
    Comodo Firewall
    And malwarebytes

    That link you gave is incorrect info i tried to install it my self on a fresh install of 64bit windwos and said the same thing to me as well.

    False. I run SpywareBlaster on my Windows 7 64 bit netbook with NO problems!

    I also run Malwarebytes, MS Security Essentials and the Win 7 built in firewall.

    From the Avira user guide, SpywareBlaster is perfectly compatible with their program. This link should help with any issues with Avira, it's lengthy but thorough. Scroll down about a quarter way to see the lists, noting the screenshot contradicts Avira's own advice.

    SpywareBlaster is a great tool for added protection, recommending someone remove it is not good advice, IMO. :)

    I think you should switch antiviruses, when I used Avira and I had to get my computer fixed professionally because it was so bad. Since then I've been using Unthreat Antivirus and haven't had any issues with conflicting programs, I recommend it!

    I have a 32-bit version Windows XP operating system

    I have also installed
    SUPERAntiSpy
    Comodo Firewall and
    malwarebytes

    I have uninstalled Avira as there was a Problem in Immunization in Spybot Search & Destroy.

    Can you provide me with a link to download the Unthreat Antivirus?

    I'll give this one a try.
