been stupid

sorry to be so stupid but i have deleted files from my chest that i think i should not have,iv deleted files from system files thinking they where virusis dumb iknow been told by a friend this is wrong an computer may now be at risk can anyone help on how to reinstall them i think one was called kernal,cant really remember the rest but there was 4 of them plus all system files ??? all of which where in my chest

Of the three sections:

  • The only area you should be interested in is the Infected Files section, this is where the files detected by avast and selected by you to move to the chest are placed.- The User Files section is where the user can add files they suspect of being malware but not detected by avast.- The System Files section is where avast keeps back-up copies of important system files in case the original becomes infected (leave them alone).- The All Chest Files is a collation of the three sections.

Having deleted them avast will I’m sure capture more copies (of those in the System Files section), but only three, the forth will most likely have been a duplicate of one of the three (if WU updates one, avast should save another copy). So try rebooting and see if avast restores copies of these files.

thanks alot very helpful it has put three of them back in and now i definatly wont be touching them again ;D

Lesson learnt, delete in haste, repent at leisure ;D
