Luna Posted February 28, 2011 ID:394595 Share Posted February 28, 2011 I got that exact thing on both my laptop & PC when I scanned with Malwarebytes. Is it anything to worry about? Should I format both just in case?I quarantined & deleted it in Malwarebytes free version but dunno if it's a dangerous file that has other hidden files attached to it.Anyone mind explaining what the thing is?

smartdog Posted March 1, 2011 Author ID:394610 Share Posted March 1, 2011 My concern now is since MalwareBytes has deleted the file...I no longer have it, and I am assuming it may be an important file. And when trying to add it back it will not go back in the folder. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff shadowwar Posted March 1, 2011 Staff ID:394641 Share Posted March 1, 2011 Luna it was a false positive and nothing to worry about. This file is just an older version of a file that was updated so shouldnt cause any problems if missing. You can restore if from quaritine if needed.Smartdog did you make sure to show hidden files to make sure if the file is definitely there or not?

smartdog Posted March 1, 2011 Author ID:394643 Share Posted March 1, 2011 yes, it's obviously an admin issue in win7 and although i have admin rights, it still does not let me reinstate the file back into the said folder Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff shadowwar Posted March 1, 2011 Staff ID:394649 Share Posted March 1, 2011 Ok well this file is from net framework 3.0 with no updates. You should be fine without it. Worse case you would have to reinstall the net framework 3.0 if you had a problem. Files in winsxs are just archived copies of older files in case some app actually need an older file after an microsoft update was applied. http://www.faultwire.com/file_detail/icardagt.exe*56113.html Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
