Something interesting happened to my laptop in the…

last 20 hours. Apparently, XP no longer recognizes either Avira (as a anti-virus) or Online Armor (as a firewall). As I actually think I know what happened to cause this (I was a bit too careless using Revo Uninstaller’s junk files cleaner), this won’t be phrased as a question.

The thing I want to bring attention to is the fact that accidental (mis)use a simple (generally non-malicious) program to defeat three programs (avira, online armor, and lenovo’s backup service).
