Hello, on my test centre results for a scan of my computer, it says that shell32.dll is "change" (others been "-OK-"), I have done a scan of my hard drives and it says that no virus was found etc, and yet when I limit the results on the test page to virus etc, it comes up with shell32.dll- "change"

Is this of any concern??

Shell32.dll does get updated quite regularly, you'll notice it especially as Windows updates go through. AVG is set to note any system files which are altered, so it logs this one - it does the same on the one on which I use AVG, there are usually a couple of other changes as well. As long as no virus is found you can ignore it.

Hi computer novice 2,

You can change it so the files are no longer listed as 'changed' too. Just go to this link and follow the instructions given my 'rdsok':

Fixing 'Changed'

Have a great day.

Regards,

Phil
