| [XPHome] WINDOWS XP-system-start driver(s) failed to sfsync02 AVG free edition flagged sfsync02 as rootkit and I deleted the file lol Now nothing is loading up at start up! It takes like 2 min for frogramms to load up! I see this error message in Event Viewer
The following boot-start or system-start driver(s) failed to load:
sfsync02
How do I restore this file? I do have an XP system recovery CD,but How do I just restore this one missing file without restoring the whole system and then having to redownload all the Microsoft Updated????? Yikes! |

| Re: [XPHome] WINDOWS XP-system-start driver(s) failed to sfsync0 Most likely that was a false positive detected by AVG. Sfsync02 is not a Windows file so recovering it from any Windows media is likely to be fruitless. Sfsync02 appears to be part of a copy protection scheme, just guessing from some game. Follow the last post in this »en.kioskea.net/forum/affich-6238···nc02-sys
thread for instructions on how to remove and then re-install the driver. |

Alternatively, if you don't need it, remove it from the configuration.
From a command prompt in safe mode, if you can get there:
sc config sfsync02 start= disabled
If you can't get to safe mode, you'll have to boot the recovery console. If you didn't install the recovery console on disk (it's a separate bootable system) you'll need the CD.
I supoose the XP recovery console has a command equivalent to 'sc' but I don't recall and don't have XP handy to check.

Soapbox: an antivirus that deletes a driver file but leaves it as a required component of system startup is defective. It's not like it's difficult for the AV to discover that the system will fail to boot if you remove that driver file... |

And after you get back up get rid of AVG and install Avast!
I had nothing but problems with AVG!
And if you do a search you will see many people have comew here complaining about AVG, true some did complain about Avast but not as many as AVG! |

Switched from AVG to Avast about 4 years ago because out of nowhere AVG started picking up a lot of false positives and popping up "blocked this" and "blocked that" constantly. Took it out and loaded in Avast and it found things that AVG missed. It does detect a false positive once in a while but overall it works great and does not slow older systems down so I have been loading it into just about everyone's pc's I work on too since a lot of them are older machines. Definitely recommended. |
