I have downloaded the latest Avira Antivir version: 10.0.0.648 to my 2000 WinXP Home/SP1 (note: I recently 'restored' my pc with the Restore CD and had to reinstall SP1 to begin with). Now I am trying to install the Avira .exe d/load, and getting the foll. error msg:
"Avira Antivir Personal requires at least Windows 2000, SP4 and Update Rollup1. Error code: 20"
I need this protection for my pc ASAP and would appreciate any replies on how to solve this problem. Thanks.

You need to install Windows 2000 SP4 before installing Avira, as the error message states.

You can download it from here.

Thank u very much for ur reply. However, I had no previous problem installing Avira, until I just 'restored' my pc from the Restore CD.
There was no previous error msg requesting install of Windows 2000/SP4.
So why now this error msg? Can someone here recommend a relatively effective Antivirus - low on MB resources? Would appreciate replies.

With the restore process your system was downgraded to SP1!!!!! Hence, you need to update it with SP4

I think the error you are getting could be the reason of old version sp1, You need to install Windows 2000 SP4 before installing Avira.
