Sometime certain virus like the Sality can corrupt the .exe files.
But using the antivirus to scan the hard drive externally should be able to disinfect most of the infected .exe files. |

QUOTE(stef32 @ Feb 15 2011, 03:17 PM) Once a file was considered infected there is no reason to get back and use it again (only in case if it was a false-positive detection). To use the application which file was infected by viruses just search it on the Internet, download and install it again. The main issue about this is that some of the virus like the brontoks virus that infect the documents that cannot be downloaded from the web.  In that case, just backup the document and format the PC if the user do not mind and rescan the documents to allow the AV to repair it. By the way, TS still need the advice?  |
