for about a week i had this problem with this WindowsFileProtection thing...and i reinstalled Windoz a couple of times in just few days...but same thing all the time, and some programs failed to work.....so i decided to install an antivirus program (norton) and when i started scaning, i was like "WTF?!".....the antivirus found around 500-600 infected files that (most of them) had to be erased
they were only .exe files located on my D drive (backup programs and stuff)...
the virus was
W32.Pinfi
and i will never forget it's name
from that day on, i don't connect to the net till i'm not sure Norton is working
it's been updated almost daily and there's a very little chance that the "incident" will happen again
so, people, take care
Lol those unknown infected files just come out of nowhere huh??
I also used Norton anti virus, thats what caught my virus. I think its one of the best virus protection programs. Glad ya got rid of it.
