Ive been running AVG (paid-version) Internet Security on my Vista x64 pc since I built it, since my old program wasnt Vista, much less x64 compatable.
I ran into an issue a while back where AVG detected adware.xupiter on my pc.
Strange thing is, first AVG makes me enable UAC (which I hate) then reboot & scan again, just to remove my infections/warnings.
Well, with this one particular adware.xupiter, AVG says (after enabling UAC) That "threats cannot be removed by average user, do I want to remove as a Power User?" Which I choose yes.
Sometimes it then asks the same thing again
Then I get an error saying "Some infections could not be repaired".
Basically, I cant "heal" or "move to vault"......so, it remains.
Location of said Adware:
HKLM\System\ControlSet002\Enum\USB\6&2025D8a0&0&000\\ConfigFlags
I tried typing this in Google with no results. Google results on Xupiter basically shows adware that can cause pop-ups....which I havent experienced.
I tried booting into safe-mode & running AVG.....its supposed to automatically "heal" or "move to vault", neither which it did.
I tried running regedit, to find the problem myself, when I got to the last folder "6&2025D8a0&0&000", I highlight it, and see the file in question called "ConfigFlags". Problem is, the 4 or so subfolders under USB, along with the one I highlighted ALL have a file called "ConfigFlags".
Along with my many concerns, theres golden rules to follow by...
#1 "If it aint broke, dont fix it"
#2 "If you dont know what youre doing, stay the hell out of BIOS & Registry"
Thanks to you guys, Im no longer scared in BIOS, but dare I delete a registry entry when I have no clue? *gasp
I guess its not too huge of an issue, as im not experiencing any major problems with my pc, other than the norm........occasional game crashes & lag/disconnect issues, but I think these are irrelevant to this.
