Answer» My AVG resident virus shield has given me this notice: Resident shield alert; Threat name: runtime packed nspack detected on open. This came up in a CD that I bought for our kids, a story book type thing. Is this really dangerous? Can I defang it in any way? Do I have to THROW the CD away or can it be fixed? I've got a whining kid on my hands here so if you can help me figure out if I really have to throw the thing out, I'd appreciate it.
Note: I went to the AVG site and they didn't recognize the virus when I searched in their encyclopedia. Also, there was no "HEAL" BUTTON on the dialogue box. Only "remove threat as power user" but I don't know what that means.
What should I do? Thanks Dr.D.Try UNINSTALLING that thing first and see what happens NEXT. Thanks KingPincer but I hadn't installed it yet. As soon as I clicked on the icon for my DVD drive, I got the security warning. I took things no farther. I'd just like to know what kind of virus this is, can I fix it, or do I have to throw the CD away. We were on vacation and bought this as a souvenir for our kids, so we can't take it back. I hate to throw away the money and disappoint the kids, unless of course this is necessary for the safety of our computer.
anyone else know anything about this virus or what I can do in this situation? Thank you.
In peace Dr. D.Is the CD that you bought a fake or original cause you said that once you click the CD a alert just pops out. For me this is a spy ware cause once you installed this thing it installs something to your computer that you don't know making the performance of your computer not that good.
