With regards to the antivirus warning: You can double-click on the "warning
shield" in the system tray and then select the option that indicates you
have your own virus scanning tool installed and it will stop nagging you.

With regards to the PDF item. There are a host of reasons why this might be
occurring. Usually means one or more registry entries related to Adobe are
messed up. The easiest way I know to correct this is to uninstall the Adobe
acrobat reader, reboot and then download and install the latest version from
www.adobe.com

If you are already running the latest version of the adobe acrobat reader
program you can try two other things:

1. Open acrobat reader and select "Edit Preferences"
2. Select "Internet"
3. Make sure the checkboxes for "Display PDF in browser" and "Check Browser
settings when starting acrobat" are checked.
4. Close and then re-start Acrobat. If it offers to "fix" your settings you
should be all set.

Option 2.
1. Go into the same preferences dialog and uncheck the box "Display PDF in
browser". This will cause Adobe to spawn a separate window for PDF files.
