[SOLVED] ANTIVIR Warnings: C:\hiberfil.sys and C:\pagefile.sys
Newly downloaded ANTIVIR Antivirus program, ran first scan and got this in my results:
C:\hiberfil.sys [WARNING] The file could not be opened! C:\pagefile.sys [WARNING] The file could not be opened! Does anybody know WHAT these files are? Should I delete them? Does this mean they could contain viruses? Thanks, l8start |

Re: ANTIVIR Warnings: C:\hiberfil.sys and C:\pagefile.sys
Hi -
These are legit Windows files. AVs can't open them because it's a protected system file, and they are locked. hiberfil.sys deals with OS hibernation. pagefile.sys deals with virtual memory. It compliments your RAM by using hard drive space as more memory. hiberfil.sys: see Hibernate pagefile.sys: see Paging

Hi, Thank you VERY much. First time with this AV program, and I've never seen a result like that before. All set now, Thanks!
