If you are running CA (Computer Associates) antivirus software, and you are experiencing error messages about your system potentially being unstable from missing or changed files, then it could be related to the CA antivirus program.

Beginning Wednesday, there have been reports of CA’s antivirus program mis-identifying legitimate Windows system files as harmful malware, and therfore treating the files like a virus. Cnet News is reporting that the problem is mainly affecting Windows XP users.

If you are experiencing problems with any of your PC’s operating systems, unsure about the files your antivirus program installations have quarantined, or have any other questions about virus protection, contact Centrend for assistance.
