Re: INSTB32.SYS Possible F/P?

Please read what I've written.

Do not decide that just because AVG has identified it as a threat it needs to be removed. I'm not saying it isn't a threat, but you're telling me the machine has the software installed that this file can be associated with.

Protection software is not infallible. The file needs to be examined before a decision is made.

This can only be done with the proper permissions. From an admin account you should be able to find it via a search.

This topic will remain open for quite a while. Bring their attention to it, do not act without due consideration.
