AVG Free

Hi

Those are normal occurances in AVG, especially after you have done some MS updates, this happens as some updates change core kernel components of the OS and AVG is set to check these and alert you, its a warning to a change over an infection ( IMO they could have worded it better ), in other words this is not a harmful warning to you having malware.

If you actually bothered to read post #2 and the link to AVGs own forum moderators reply, this is NOT malware related but by design, in which AVG is set to check not just for malware my for changed core kernel (generally due to some MS update having updated core files to the OS ) files and in the status box lists them as so in "changed" and not "infected".

If you dont have the answer then dont guess as it makes the forum look bad!

 

It didnt need to as this issue revolves around AVG and not other AVs...But as you dont use AVG, then how would you know?

Go read the whole post and link again, those files are NOT virii and are listed due to settings in AVG, the exceptions option to remove these from showing is listed in the quote given from Grisoft the makers of AVG.

 

IT is not viral, I dont know how to get through to you that AVG by design highlights these core kernel files as CHANGED not INFECTED or harmfull, the below quote is from Grisofts official forum on this issue, which you didnt read, in the link given earlier.

I have no interest in Norton and what it does as this thread topic is on AVG.... and for the reasons mentioned AVG shows these files as changed on occasion after a Microsoft Update or SFC /scannow, if someone deleted those three files from those listed locations thinking they mayeb virii, then their OS will not BOOT.


I'm not critisising you but your advise which in this case is not applicable to the question.
