Zune not working with Computer

Apr 17, 2009 10:17AM PDT

I've recently downloading the worst anti-virus, AVG Internet Security,...It falsely reported a lot of stuff. Java, Microsoft Office 2007, Adobe Photo Shop, and Zune. After the scan was done (it auto deletes everything it miss reports) my Zune didn't work with the Zune Software like it used to. I'm running on Windows XP SP3 Pro any help you guys?

Sadly something terrible has happened. However I only saw such a thing on a less than legit XP with a pirated other software installed. The trojans were knocked out and many things began to fail and their ipod didn't work.

Think over your disaster plan and begin doing that.

The problem with system restore is that you can't know if it will work till your try it. I hear this daily "will this fix it?" and the answer is sadly you must try it to know.

If AVG calls something bad it could be the usual malware and we see USB and internet failures after removal.
