Yo ,

Thanks for replying, but didn’t really have an awnser to my problem. Maybe i didn’t explain it right, so i’ll try again…

-some of my *.exe files started failing, so i suspected i had a virus.

-i downloaded avast , and sure enough the software found and destroyed the virus. For witch it has my undying gratitude …

-It also (automaticly) started fixing files that had been infected…Great i though

-The problem is that a lot of these files (*.exe’s) that were fixed dont work anymore, instead of there usssual pictogram they now have a dos pictogram, and when i open them they just bring up the dos window for a sec…

-So my question is : can these files be restored or do i get rid of them.

Most of them are old junk and shareware programs that should be updated anyway but some cann’t be replaced…

I tried to get the cleaner as suggested but :
http://www.avast.com/eng/products/free_software/cleaner/avast_virus_cleaner.html

Seems to be a dead link…

thanks again
