Kernel32.dll will be replaced by the following security updates: - KB935839 - KB917422 Search your drive/s for that file and make sure that the file properties of all present copies show information about the Microsoft origin. -- d-d

A message like that is normal only if changes really happened. And there are just two reasons for any changes: System updates or Malware. In the latter case, however, Malware does not replace the system file in the %windir%\System32 folder - otherwise, Windows wouldn't start. If neither case applies, this false message would be a good reason for me to change the anti-virus installed. No matter if "normal" or not. -- d-d
Guest Spot Posted October 3, 2007 Posted October 3, 2007 Re: kernel32.dll Thanks, I have gotten the updates so that is most likely what it is. -- esu lanoisseforp "Detlev Dreyer" wrote: > "Gerry" <gerry@nospam.com> wrote: > > > Normal.
