kernel change
« on: November 04, 2007, 09:38:17 PM »


   
dell dimension 4600; 2.8 cpu, 2.5 gb ram, 80 gb drive, windows xp home version 2002-service pack 2
avg 7.5, avg anti-rootkit, spybot-search&destroy, lavasoft-ad-aware 2007, comodo firewall pro, comodo boclean, clamwin antiivirus, ccleaner

when i run a avg scan i get this message at the top of the page;

under file- kernel32.dill; under result/infection- change; under path- c:\windows\system.32\kernel32.dill

and yet, avg said no threats found. avg is a free program and has no support help. i have tried to find out through avg forums just what is meant by; " kernet32.dill change c:\windows\system.32\kernel32.dill" but no luck. i am not having any problems that i know of. i have run/ran all of the above programs and all seems to be ok. but if anybody can tell me what the message means i sure would be thankful.

If all other AV programs detect nothing, then it is most likely a false positive.

Don't worry, AVG is simply notifying you of a change in the file.  This is normal.  I get the same thing when I scan too.

I disagree...
AVG Free has tons of support including the Forums...your issue is mentioned there quite frequently. It is a harmless system change and happens every time you scan.
How much time did you spend at the Forums ? ?
