Ever since I installed XP Service Pack, I've been getting a dialog box that says there are unreconguized versions of windows files. I insert the XP cd, it copies the files. Shorthly after I removed the CD, the message comes up again. I'm not sure if the SP caused this or if its something else. I just need to get it fixed because it's anoying as hell.
Could a Virus of some kind cause this? I did a scann didnt find anything.

We were infected with the welchia virus, used the symantec fix welchia, updated virus scans and downloaded and installed all of Microsofts updates. We then got the Windows File Protection message.We reinstalled windows and still get the same message.
