Sistem 32 files in the virus chest?

Question

I use Avast! and have 3 sistem32 files in the virus chest,it specifies that they are not viruses.I read that you never delete sistem32 files...what do I do?

Answer 1

Files inside the \windows\system32 folder should be deleted with caution. Unfortunately, 90% of the malwares install themself in system32 folder.

"sistem 32" is probably a virus -- just look at the spelling. Delete it and **do not** attempt to restore it.

Answer 2

Trust Avast!  Many infections do install junk in the System32 folder.

FYI - there are many infections that are NOT viruses.  There are Trojans, worms, etc.

HTH!

Answer 3

Typically they will hide in the System 32 files.... thats probably one of the most common places to find a virus..... Trust Avast

Answer 4

Avast places them into protected storage, this is normal and perfectly safe. You must NEVER delete them, they are placed there so that they cannot be infected by malware.

EDIT:

You do not need to Restore them, they are perfectly safe as they are.
