Hi folks,
I see that this topic has been mentioned more than once in the past - sorry to bring it back (none of the solutions fix my problem).
A few days ago (16th July 2012) the Resident Shield of my AVG Internet Security 2012 reported an issue with the 'Services.exe' file located in C:\Windows\System32\
- specifically stating 'Trojan horse dropper.Generic_c.MMI' and saying that the 'Object is white-listed (critical/system file that should not be removed'.
After Googling this issue the avg forum suggested I use the following command in the cmd box: "sfc /scanfile=c:\windows\system32\services.exe". After doing this I had no more problems reported with services.exe.
Problem 1:
However, now, my desktop icon arrangement has reset and grouped to the left side of the screen. I can re-position each icon however, upon reboot or the desktop Refresh command all Icons return to the left - to exactly the same position. Auto arrange icons is turned off and align to grid can be turned off however, it keeps turning itself on upon reboot.
Icon re-positioning was always retained previously - this problem has only just appeared.
Problem 2:
Upon double-clicking the desktop Computer icon I am now unable to permanently set the view from 'Tiles' to 'Details' (I can, temporarily) - this was never the case until the issue above (i.e. all explorer/folder views were permanently set to detail via 'folder options/view/apply folders').
So, something has changed very recently. I've ran full scans using avg (virus,tracking and rootkit), malewarebytes mbam, spybot but the problem persists. I've re-checked system files using 'sfc /verifyonly' and no 'integrity violations' were found.
Can anyone throw some light on what might be causing this?
