Hello,
This is my first post. I am running Windows XP Home SP3 on a Compaq Presario SR1123WM. I'm here because I have some very strange things going on. I have uninstalled Windows Media Player since I don't use it. However since uninstalling I have found some files with the WMP icon. When I mouse over these the yellow box says it's a WMP file, however if you open the properties it says the file is a Notepad file. I have been having problems with my AVG 2011 antivirus. It has shown no problems but I ran across one of the above mentioned WMP/Notepad files that in the text mentiones registering a fake update to AVG. I have tried to repair and uninstall with AVG Remover and reinstall but still having problems and no detections. It also appears that the msi.exe file may be corrupted because although I can download and see the install window installing updates the do not show up in Control Panel with Show Updates checked. Also when I scan images in and have the folder set to view as Thumbnails no thumbs show up, just folders and icons as tiles. Please let me know what scans /logs to send. Thank you in advance for your help.
