    Some thing wrong with program files x86
    « on: May 09, 2011, 04:23:10 AM »
       I was downloading a program yesterday and AVG told me not to so I didn't, I did a google search to make sure I had the right program my son had...I tried to reinstall and everything went well, I also tried to install Amazon cloud player.  AVG gave me a message about a backdoor trogan??(not sure for what program) I quarantined and did what AVG told me to do but now it seems anything pinned to program filesX86 and any maintenance, restore, accessories are doing the same thing.  I have been able to open some of my programs if I go around directly to the file(in C drives/ program files x86). it wants me to choose the program that opened it.  I do see that my programs files, users, and my main file was all modified yesterday when everything happened. I also now have a temp user which I believe I shouldn't have.  I was going to do a restore to factory settings but I realized I upgraded from Vista to Windows 7 so now what??? please help I am a photographer and have a wedding in 3 weeks so I need to fix this quick. ???

    Sounds like AVG has flagged a file from the app as malicious...
    We're going to need the name of all apps you have recently installed to pinpoint the problem...

          Frostwire & Amazon cloud player ...AVG says I have a corrupted extension file it said it fixed it but I still have many programs I cannot file unless I go directly to the file in program files, program file 86 or windows
