Answer» One of my Windows XP Home files
[windows\system32\winmode.exe]
got hit by a virus and my Norton Viruscan couldn't deal with it. So I deleted the file, using the Windows Recovery Console. So far it doesn't seem to have had any effect on the running of the system but I would like to replace it in CASE something goes wrong in the future.
Can anyone please email me a clean copy of this file, or post it on a website, or tell me where I can get one?
Does anyone know what the file does?
Thanks and regards,
Calhob
winmode is USED in win3.1 for graphics use....winxp does not use this file......The file Norton TRIED to disinfect was most likely in use. I suggest that whenever you ATTEMPT to remove VIRUSES again in the future, you do so in safe mode.Thanks for your advice, Merlin and Raptor!
So far so good, no ill effects from removing the file, so I'll just forget about it.
Cheers
Calhob
