.dll results on AVG scan?

FTWchamp · Apr 11, 2007

I ran an AVG scan this morning and got the following report:

C:\\WINDOWS\system32\user32.dll
C:\\WINDOWS\system32\shell32.dll
C:\\WINDOWS\system32\ntoskrnl.exe

All three were listed as changed in the result and status columns. I don't get an option in AVG to fix those files or do anything else with them. The overall status report for AVG claims no threats found. I also ran Ad-Aware SE and Spybot and those results were good.

So why that result and what can I do to fix it? Thanks in advance for the help.

Hi

AVG is one of those Antivirus scanners that highlights those system files being changes, especially arfter you have possibly just done some Windows Updates?

DO NOT delete them otherwise your Windows will need reinstalling as they are just an informational thing and time to worry is if they are listed as infected.

To get AVG to quit showing them as changed, open the AVG Test Center, click the F3 key on your keyboard and tell it to accept the changes. If it still shows something as changed after this.. delete the file named AVG7QT.DAT in C:\ and AVG will rebuild it the next time it is run.
