Why are you running three anti-virus packages Moz? :eek:

Anyway - do you mean ntoskrnl (rn instead of m) ?

If so, then here's a reply to the question posted on the Grisoft forum:

There are many valid reasons for those files to show changed, a Windows update, file system check that replaced them if corrupted, and others. As long as AVG doesn't say they are infected it is ok. If it continues to show changed, delete the following file(s) in the C:\ directory and AVG will create a new one(s)...

AVG7DB_F.DAT
AVG7QT.DAT [/code:1]
 
Yeah it is "ntoskrnl" - it means NT operating system kernel. It's one of the core executables in the Windows operating system.
