Usually I never have problems with stuff like this but I installed AVG antivirus and it scanned about an hour ago and found a virus in C:/Windows/dashboard.exe and I'm guessing it deleted that file. Well now a windows file protection error keeps coming up asking me to insert my windows xp professional cd. So I mounted the cd that I used to install this version of windows and it says it isnt the correct cd. Any advice?

Posted Image Hi :



Seems to me the Best Place to Start would be the FREE AVG Forums at

http://freeforum.avg.com/] , probably their "[Removing Viruses, Virus Removal Tools ".

When an antiVIRUS program "detects" something, it always asks the User to make

a Choice of several Options, and "Delete" is always the worse One to Select . Should start

by "Quarantining", then investigate the "quality" of the "Detection" by starting on the

program's Online Support Forums, IF they exist . There is some place in that program

that should tell you the SPECIFIC 'Name" of the "Detection" !?

Hi, Intrepid.

With what kind of CD did you install Windows onto that PC?
