AVM - scanning warning: x_AavmCheckFileDirectEx [UNI]: C:\WINDOWS\System32\Msvrl.dll (C:\WINDOWS\System32\Msvrl.dll) returning error, 00000005.
I see this error in my event file. What does it means and how can I solve it ?

The 05 error is ‘Access is denied’ and is usually associated with a file in use, but this one seems to be malware http://www.castlecops.com/lsp-95.html and http://www3.ca.com/securityadvisor/pest/pest.aspx?id=453078820.
Hijacker : Any software that resets your browser's settings to point to other sites. Hijacks may reroute your info and address requests through an unseen site, capturing that info. In such hijacks, your browser may behave normally, but be slower.
You might also consider proactive protection, in order to place files in the system folders and create registry entries you need permission. Prevention is much better and theoretically easier than cure.
Whilst browsing or collecting email, etc. if you get infected then the malware by default inherits the same permissions that you have for your user account. So if the user account has administrator rights, the malware has administrator rights and can reap havoc. With limited rights the malware can’t put files in the system folders, create registry entries, etc. This greatly reduces the potential harm that can be done by an undetected or first day virus, etc.
Check out the link to DropMyRights (in my signature below) - Browsing the Web and Reading E-mail Safely as an Administrator. This obviously applies to those NT based OSes that have administrator settings, winNT, win2k, winXP.
