I have just had to upgrade from Windows ME > XP Home. Had a few problems
with virus and McAffee, all seems settled now, but getting this annoying
message when I launch CONTROL PANEL:

Only visible fault is when I go to click on CONTROL PANEL!!!

Get new window:

VIRUSSCAN: Avsmcpa.dll

The specified resource language ID can not be found on the image file.

C:\WINDOWS\System32\Res0902\Avsmcpa.dll : The specified module can not be
found

C:\WINDOWS\System32\Res0900\Avsmcpa.dll : The specified module can not be
found

C:\WINDOWS\System32\Res09\Avsmcpa.dll : The specified module can not be
found

C:\WINDOWS\System32\Res0901\Avsmcpa.dll : The specified module can not be
found

C:\WINDOWS\System32\Res0000\Avsmcpa.dll : The specified module can not be
found

C:\WINDOWS\System32\Res00\Avsmcpa.dll : The specified module can not be
found

Anyone know how I can cure this?

Thanks

Just did this, and found:

Avsmcpa.cpl.manifest C:\WINDOWS\System\
Avsmcpa.cpl.disabled C:\WINDOWS\System32\
Avsmcpa C:\WINDOWS\System32\

So, renamed the "Avsmcpa" (cpl file) at C:\WINDOWS\System to Avsmcpa.old and
restarted, same PROBLEM

Launched Control panel and still got same VIRUSSCAN: Avsmcpa.dll message as
below.

Do the "manifest and disabled" files need changing?

Thanks
