I did a reset with the power switch, to no avail.

I'm running 2.5.3 on an International Kindle 2.

I'm wondering what would happen if I installed 2.5.3 on top of 2.5.3?

Any other suggestions?

Hmm... Could the problem be with your antivirus? I've had AVG (free) before, and have always gotten false positives. You should use MSE or Avira (both free).
