Virus Recovery one lingering Problem still exsist - 23rd Jun 2011 9:29pm
Hi Guys & Girls,
Background
About 3 weeks ago i got a virus which quick turned to 4, AVG Virus scan failed to find it.
It was driving me mad AVG Virus alerts were popping all the time telling all sort of files were infected and moved the files to the Virus Vault I tried updating AVG but it would not Update. After reading a Virus thread about Anti Virus software not updating I searched the registry and I found out that AVG was not updating because the Virus have disabled AVG and 9 other Anti Virus Programmes from updating !!!!
So I downloaded & installed one the wasn't on the disabled list AVAST I ran it and it found 4 Virus I removed then delteted them.
Things were getting back to normal then I noticed that some software was not working because most of the softwares files were in AVG's Virus Vault And I had deleted the all the programmes that had stopped working begin with the letter A so the virus had being working it's way through my Progam File Dir starting at the top with A !!!!
Things are back to normal except....
Now my problem every time I open a Microsoft Program such as Outlook, IE, Word, Excel Windows Installer opens and then Microsoft XP Office Professional wants to install even thou it's allready on I have to canel the install and then the Programme opens
I'm getting fed up of this.
Does anyone know how I can stop MS XP Office wanting to install ??
