OK I just realized something .... and have been informed that I have been an idiot
(so you dont need to do it again)
Avast is giving me cyclic redundancy errors in this directory
and in two others
C:\WINDOWS\assembly\GAC\SystemManagement\1.0.5000....a3\__AssemblyInfo__.ini
and
C:\WINDOWS\assembly\GAC\SystemManagement\1.0.........a3\SystemManagement.dll
Now that I understand what cyclic redundancy actually means ... I suspect this is
why I get the rootkit hidden file message and is leftovers from some virus ?
anyway to fix these ?
