    Running windows XP

    Updated and ran free AVG AV. it showed no threats but in the column result/infection it said "changed".
    on my 1 computer it referred to
    path: windows/system32
    these files:
    user32.dll
    shell32.dll
    ntoskrnl.exe
    kernel32.dll
    also windows/systems32/drivers/etc/hosts

    the other computer just
    windows/systems32/drivers/etc/hosts

    do u think there is some type of problem

    :) Nope :) All is well. I see the same things in AVG all the time. These are things that Windows makes changes to from time to time, and AVG was letting you know that the contents had changed. If there was an active infection, you probably would have been warned. However, you may want to take a look at the hosts file to see if any erroneous entries have been added.

    This type of "problem",I always see in Avast,were all this files is shown in virus chest,but I know that there is no problem in my comp,so you don't have to worry.
    So ,as dlb says if anything is wrong avg will alarm you that something is not right.
