| Vista Ultimate SP2 x64 Windows 7 Ultimate x64 TECHNET | Re: Missing A Bunch of System32 Files (Virus Attack) Try running System Files - SFC Command, and maybe try running a full scan with one or some of these to see if there still maybe some infection left.

| Vista Home Premium 32bit | Re: Missing A Bunch of System32 Files (Virus Attack) but what about the corrupted/missing System32 files? are they ok and the viruses are just blocking it? when i try to hibernate or go into sleep mode it just takes me to the log in area and does nothing... im just confused about the system32 files... are they deleted or are they just being blocked off. |

| Vista Ultimate SP2 x64 Windows 7 Ultimate x64 TECHNET | Re: Missing A Bunch of System32 Files (Virus Attack) If you're missing system files, running sfc/scannow from an elevated command prompt, as in that tutorial, should replace and/or fix any missing/corrupted system files. Did you run it as per the tutorials instructions? |
