    Hello all,
    I just downloaded Avira, after my AVG expired.
    It seems fine, except for one thing - Every time I access my external drive, a message pops up that says "blocked for my security."
    The drive is accessible, so I don't know what this message is about or how to stop it.
    Any advice welcome.
    Thanks
    Paul

    It may be blocking an Autorun.INF file.

    Is there a reason your USB drive needs an Autorun.inf? (It's a script that runs every time the drive connects to Windows. This is one way infections are spread.) You can open it with Notepad and see what's in it. If you don't need it you can just delete it. That should keep your AV software from complaining -- assuming that's the reason it's complaining.
