47 False Positives RiskWare.Injector.Generic Official Windows Files

[Marcus024]

I got this Problem today and was just about to make a Post about this with the logs when i realised the entire Forum is splattered with Threads about this and its a False Positive.

Now, the Problem here is, i already quarantined and deleted all of those so...

Did i just damage my Computer? Deleting official windows files doesnt sound very umm, healthy...

Is there any way i can restore / repair this damage?

Please never delete your quarantine for at least a week or so. Files in there can not harm your system.

As to is there any damage, I can not say. A system restore should correct that. Repair install at the worst.

Staff "might" have another solution.

@Marcus024 System Restore might work but it has never been reliable from my experience. If that doesn't work for you we can recreate those tasks I am pretty sure.

Yeah, sorry.... I learned that the hard way now.

Im not noticing anything yet, everything seems to be working fine for now but you never know, so I am going to try System Restore.

EDIT: In the system restore points  there was only one restore point that i could choose, that was about an hour after i screwed up, so that isnt gonna work :(

I found that upgrading Windows to a newer build restores those tasks, you can do this as you'd be offered Windows Update anyway.
