Most icons have disappeared from the task-bar. Only Avira, Spybot S&D, and the clock show. The Avira icon does not have an option to close it down. > > Another option would be to get someone you know had downloaded it to send > it > to you > > I had a friend try to download it and he says he cannot open it, either. But the sender says she can, either by clicking on a link or pasting it into the browser. Thanks for you thoughts, Nivard. I appreciate your time and effort.

Avira has a community support board. You should browse the board and post your issue if you don't see it there. http://www.free-av.com/en/community/index.html You could try uninstalling Malwarebytes to see if the problem goes away. For that matter, you could uninstall Avira and try a different virus program. I use Avast and have had no problems.
