  I had the same problem on my Dell Inspiron. Because I don't have a CD to restore files from, I tried to do a system restore. Still was getting the error periodically, so I restored to a date even earlier, which was probably until I started having these error messages. Always had the error messages, as well as McAfee does not work, so I went back to where I was. While ignoring the messages at the moment.

  God help us all...

  When you see a message like this:

  Windows file protection
  Files which are required for Windows to run properly have been replaced by unrecognized versions.  To maintain system stability, Windows must restore the original versions of these files.

  I hope that you are curious to know what is the file and when you know that, you can decide what to do about it.

  You must click Cancel, and then click Yes to keep the file, then you will have an event to watch which will tell you what the problem is the file.

  Search where you sign in to see what is the name of file system Viewer, then decide what to do.

  The event will look something like in this example:

  Event type: Information
  Event source: Windows File Protection
  Event category: no
  Event ID: 64005
  Date: 10/01/2011
  Time: 14:41:56
  Description:
  The protected system file taskmgr.exe had not been restored in its original, valid version because the Windows File Protection restoration process was cancelled by user interaction, user name is Jose.  The file version of the bad file is unknown.

  When you know what the file is, you can decide what to do about it.  There are probably other copies of the files on your system, or you can get the files from another source.

  A shortcut to the event viewer is to click on start, run and enter in the box:

  eventvwr.msc

  Click OK to launch the event viewer.

  Check your event observer system log and look for a proposed Windows file protection event.

  If you double-click on an event, it will open a window of properties with more information.  On the right are black up and down arrow keys to scroll through the open events. The third button that looks like two overlapping pages is used to copy the details of the event in your Windows Clipboard.

  When you find an interesting event that occurred at the time of your question, click on the third button at the top and arrows to copy the details and then you can paste the details (right click, paste or CTRL-V) the text in detail here for analysis.  Remove all personal information from your information after you paste If you are forced to do so.

  Maybe someday the dialog box 'ask a question' forums XP will ask these questions automatically when a new thread is started so I don't have to ask every time.  It might even be possible to solve a problem in a single response when enough information is provided.

  What is your Version of XP and the Service Pack?

  Describe your current antivirus and software anti malware situation: McAfee, Symantec, Norton, Spybot, AVG, Avira!, MSE, Panda, Trend Micro, CA, Defender, ZoneAlarm, PC Tools, Comodo, etc..

  If you have a genuine XP installation CD bootable which corresponds to your currently installed Service Pack, you won't get away with instructions to run sfc/scannow.

  Windows file protection wants to replace a file of the backup copy he keeps in the dllcache folder and WFP found that the backup copy of the file on your system is not look right, so he complains (there is a list of 3498 files PAM knows).

  When you see the original message, if you click Cancel, then choose 'keep' the file afflicted, you will see a warning message, and then a message like this in the case where the system log viewer:

  Event type: Information
  Event source: Windows File Protection
  Event category: no

  Description:
  The protected system file taskmgr.exe had not been restored in its original, valid version because the Windows File Protection restoration process was cancelled by user interaction, user name is Jose.  The file version of the bad file is unknown.

  As you can see, the file that WFP is concerned is clearly stated in the paper, so now you know what is the file.

  For the above example, I used my (taskmgr.exe) Task Manager file to reproduce the problem.  You need to see what your event viewer message says.

  When you know what the file is, you can decide what to do about it.  There are probably other copies of the files on your system, or you can get the files from another source.

  A shortcut to the event viewer is to click on start, run and enter in the box:

  It is possible that the files you have are good and the problem could be that the signatures authenticate not.  This could be caused by your root certificates being obsolete.  It wouldn't hurt to go to the following article:
