Files are marked as 'changed' in AVG

[Tony]

Windows XP Home SP2

Hi. After running 'AVG Free' recently, I noticed
that 4 files are marked as 'changed'. These are:
kernel32.dll, user32.dll, shell32.dll and
ntoskrnl.exe. I've been told by an 'expert !!!!'
that I should not worry, as these get changed by
the windows update service. Is this correct, or
do I have a problem ??

Many thanks in advance

This Normal since you may got the latest updates from MS update engine which
will change these Files after each security updates you receive.

You receive alert from AVG:

That's correct, however, there is no guaranty that these files or some of
them have not been modified by malware. Since Windows doesn't start with
wrong versions of these system files, the latter case is not very likely.

Many thanks guys.

Felt it would be better to ask the real experts.
Have been caught out before now getting info from
friend/colleagues who claim to be experts.
