Hello,

Avira found 3 hidden objects:

Starting search for hidden objects.

'40452' objects were checked, '3' hidden objects were found

I have no idea if these objects could be dangerous or not. Will you
guys please take a look at them and comment on them?
And how can *I* myself recognize if hidden objects are dangerous or
not?

Thanks,

Massimo

You have installed XPSP3, right? See here for the issue:
http://forum.avira.com/wbb/index.php?page=Thread&threadID=68557

Also see here for a tool to clean it up:
If you just launch this tool normally (e.g. by double-clicking on its
icon after download) then the tool will only clean up known
Symantec/Norton areas of the Windows Registry. However, if you launch
the tool from a Command Prompt window and add the parameter /override
then the tool will clean up all of the "CurrentControlSet" area of the
Registry, including areas relevant to other anti-malware vendors. For
instance, if the Command Prompt window is open with the current
directory being the one in which SymRegFix was downlaoded into, then
just type:

symregfix /override

So it appears that this tool can be used as a general clean-up tool
after misoperation of the fixccs.exe component of SP3, regardless of
which anti-malware product provoked fixccs.exe into producing all the
garbage registry entries.

Yes, on this computer I have installed sp3 :-)
When following the above url, I read the message on the forum and that
person there also used Comodo v.2.4. It is still unclear to me if the
hidden entries are connected to the use of Comodo 2.4, a flaw of sp3
of if there is another cause.
But I am studying on it...

I will use symregfix anyway...
