#G2m.dll avg false positive how to#
Here is a post about how I prefer to clean a system, these instructions also include cleaning spyware which often is as bad or worse than many virus's as well as other useful information HOW TO CLEAN AN INFECTED COMPUTER. use antispyware utils to help clean up the rest ( if any ) of the spyware components that may exist. that means that an antivirus program will detect and remove the trojan but there is more to spyware than just that. If they scanned an nothing flagged them you are ok. only scanning them will tell you if they are malware or not. There are legitimate and malware versions of this file. Hello Wenta69, First let me say welcome to BC. Thanks to BC for helping with so many problems. I suppose my question is: should a good XP Servpack 2 computer ALWAYS have a genuine copy of sporder.dll in its Windows/system32 folder, or does the file only get there in certain circumstances? The file specs of the legitimate sporder are apparently "WinSock2 reorder service providers file version. (I notice that there is now a sporder.dll file in my AVG Programs folder but my AVG Virus Vault is empty.) Spybot in its Tools/WinsockLSPs display reports no problems on my computer. Some sites even offer you the chance to download the legitimate sporder.dll to put in your Windows/system32 area if you do not have it.
Then I discovered that the sporder.dll file (at least, the legitimate version of it) is apparently a Winsock 2 related file, and that some of my XP Servpack 2 friends DO have sporder.dll in their Windows/system32 folders. Because the file was not in system32 itself, I was not too worried. On the first virus check, AVG detected a problem it identified the file sporder.dll in the Windows\system32\ActiveScan folder.
I upgraded recently to AVG 7.5 free version (on a Win XP, Servpack 2 computer).
