Kaspersky Anti Virus quarantined Windows Explorer, oops

in Software

Kaspersky Lab flagged Windows Explorer as infected with a low-risk virus, Huhk-C. (12.19.2007)

Kaspersky quickly released an update and advice on how to recover legitimate system and application files from quarantine.

However that won’t help users who set their software to automatically delete infected files.

The lesson being, think twice before setting any security program to auto delete.

Way back when, I actually paid for a browser from a McAfee afflicate.

McAfee promptly deleted it as a worm, denied it and then under pressure confessed and offered me a new download, which I declined, but lesson learnt.
