Avira warning question

When I run a scan, I always get the following 2 warnings.

What does this mean:

Begin scan in 'C:\'
C:\hiberfil.sys
[WARNING] The file could not be opened!
C:\pagefile.sys
[WARNING] The file could not be opened!

(What are these files and is this any concern)

This is a file the system creates when the computer goes into
hibernation mode.

This is a file that Windows uses as 'virtual' memory.

The files are locked system files which prevents the scanner from
accessing them. Thus the warning. It shouldn't be a concern.

Have you cleaned out your temporary internet files and cookies lately.
Always clean those out before running a scan as it will reduce the scanning
time and also should reduce the number of warnings.

You ask "how can i get rid of them?" but all you say is you "have 2135 warnings" and fail
to provide what those warnings are and what they pertain to.

Totally insufficient information.
