The only program with anything to report are a few registry entries reported by Rootkit Revealer where the hive registry entry was a different length than the length reported by the Windows API, but in no case was I was I able to determine what if anything to do about it, since the program doesn't really offer suggestions or cures, just observes anomalies. The following tools are supposed to search for rootkits but only seem to search for hidden entries, and find none: Little things like this make me wonder what is going on.
Something subtle has been altered at logon that is preventing my customization from taking effect. It no longer takes effect, though the checkbox to restore my setting at startup is still checked.

The main consistent change I've noticed is that I applied a bit of color correction in the video driver advanced settings, and it has always taken effect at some point during login. I do know there are subtle changes in system behavior. So I don't know where I stand - cleaned up system, or silent and undectable rootkit stealing my keystrokes. The Microsoft Rootkit Revealer lists a few registry entries that don't mean much to me. The difference is big - rootkits are pretty hard, almost impossible, to remove.Īll the rootkit tools I've downloaded have come up with NOTHING. What is disturbing is that Avast identifies it as having signs of a rootkit - and I saw another post where a file (n.com I think) was sent to Virus Total and was reported as a Game Trojan of various names by 50 av providers, but only avast reported it as a rootkit. I do see that iehelper.dll is BHO malware, and removed it with MBAM. Hoping for a response from Avast at some point with some clarification. So I am really looking to Avast to understand better why they indentify iehelper.dll as part of a rootkit, if it is perhaps a misidentification.īy the way SAS found nothing unusual - identified some innocuous false positives and a bunch of ad tracking cookies. (My computer is old enough that I would just buy a new one.) That the effort of eliminating a rootkit may be greater than than the effort to start over, and leaves one feeling secure rather than never completely sure. Am I being overly pessimistic? Most pages I've read about rootkits offer little hope and suggest the only safe thing is to reformat the drive, very carefully. I think even if I ran every tool your page suggests, and came up clean on every report, I still wouldn't know if I was still infected by a stealthy rootkit. What would make iehelper.dll appear to be a rootkit and not just annoying adware? So my only hope is that this isn't actually a rootkit but was misidentified as being one. Thanks - but actually everything I've seen so far about rootkits is that they basically can evade most detection and require reformat. What is my likely present situation? Is there a way to tell whether my system has been compromised in a serious way, or if this was just a hard to delete file trying to trick me into buying some spyware? If it was a rootkit, it doesn't seem that removing 2 files would eliminate the problem. Is it possible Avast is mistaken and this infection was not actually a rootkit? Since that removal, my system seems to be working normally, and Avast is the only program that labeled this infection as a rootkit.īut since you've called it a rootkit, I wonder if I was able to remove all of it, or only some superficial pieces, and if under the covers it is still causing mischief like monitoring keystrokes, looking for passwords, etc.
Clearly this seemed to be monitoring file system activity and protecting itself. The malware seemed to recognize the anti-malware and again froze the folder window, preventing me from installing the program until I managed to bypass its defense. However, I could not accomplish this until I was able to get the instsallation program on my machine saved under a different name. I got a copy of malwarebyte's anti-malware and it was able to remove iehelper.dll, sysguard.exe, and some registry keys. I was unable to manually delete iehelper.dll - the folder window froze. Avast claimed success, but never actually did anything. I was given many warnings by avast I tried moving to vault, tried deleting. My Kerio firewall kept notifying me of outbound connection requests from an unknown program, which I refused to allow. I was simply reading a blog (Firefox 2 on Windows 2000) and got an avast warning that W32 Rootkit-gen was found in iehelper.dll.Īt the same time, a new taskbar tray icon was "warning" me about all kinds of supposed viruses on my system and suggesting I buy Antispyware 2009 (which is, it seems, actually spyware or adware itself). Hello - can you help me understand if I have a serious rootkit infection or something that's been cleaned up?
