When I run the Avg free antivirus, it's showing

File:
Shell32.dll

Result/Infection:
Change

Path:
C:\WINDOWS\system32\shell32.dll


It say though that there are no threats found.


Object summary
Threats found: 0
Cleaned: 0
Moved to vault: 0
Deleted: 0
Errors: 0

Do I just ignore this, is it because of some of the security programs i have installed, Is this a registry error of some sort?

Here's a list of the things i use.

CCleaner
Tracks eraser Pro
Ad aware SE
Spybot search and destroy
Key Scrambler Pro
Windows live one care saftey scanner

Hello Optimos welcome to Geeks to go.

I use AVG as well and i have the same thing as you do,(i have 4 of them show up when i do my scan including Shell32.dll) i was looking around and found that sometimes when microsoft has those updates it changes things in those files and AVG lets you know about it.As far as i know there is nothing wrong with it(mine has been like that for close to a year now).I think you can just ignore it.Sorry i don't know how to get it to stop showing that.

Hope that helps smile.gif

Thanks for your help, it is greatly appreciated. As long as im not having anyproblems, which im not. I will just ignore it. I just wiped my drive clean and reloaded my operating system for a clean start.
