It is definitely a windows file of some sort. What registry hive would it be? If it's a registry hive then how could I recover it with a out a lot of things changing? This was after it updated to 7.0.1466. I had just booted the system and was going to run a virus scan. Avast! want to update so I let it and it had to reboot. That is when I received the error. I have still not received any reply from Avast! I will not update my Windows 7 pc's to until the next version at least, unless someone can explain why this happened.
