Title: Most C:\\WINDOWS\\System32 files gone!
Post by: Alexi on August 10, 2009, 06:53:32 PM
Hey
in the past week i have had 3-4 viruses and they have been one pain in the butt!
Today i finally found away to get rid of all of them, after i got rid of the one blocking my antivirus system. I ran my antivirus and found many files infected. being stupid and not checking which files i would delete i deleted many C:\WINDOWS\System32 files. Once in a while a message pops up saying that i some files missing (Windows File Protection its called) and i need to put in my Windows XP disk 2 (I cannot remeber if i do or not).

Also i am running Windows XP if you have not figured it out yet.

Important things i cant run:
System restore (damit!!!)
Security Center
and many things like this


Any help at all would be very help full /smile.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\':)\' />

Thanks!
