I came to this board a irritable and confused person, after becoming a member and spending time here I am now a calm and more organized person. CTH has offered me great tech support and gave me an example to follow. I just wanted the staff here to know that this site is practically a life changing experience.

Kaspersky false alarm quarantines Windows Explorer

A faulty signature update from Kaspersky Lab on Wednesday flagged up Windows Explorer (explorer.exe) as infected with a low-risk virus, Huhk-C. As a result the core Windows component was quarantined or worse.
Kaspersky released a revised update alongside advice on how to recover legitimate system and application files from quarantine (the default setting) within two hours. But that's not much consolation for users that had set their software to auto-delete infected files, who found themselves with hosed systems.
