AVG Free anti-virus analysis reports errors potentially dangerous following rootkit

AVG anti-virus free the following errors of potentially dangerous rootkit analysis reports - ' ";" C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\sppz.sys «;» ATAPI.sys, Hung import HAL.dll READ_PORT_USHORT-> sppz.sys + 0x20C0"; "' Object is hidden" ' ";" C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\sppz.sys «;» ATAPI.sys, Hung import HAL.dll WRITE_PORT_BUFFER_USHORT-> sppz.sys + 0x2800"; "' Object is hidden" ' ";" C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\sppz.sys «;» ATAPI.sys, Hung import HAL.dll WRITE_PORT_UCHAR-> sppz.sys + 0x26D6"; "' Object is hidden" ' ";" ' C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\sppz.sys ';' i8042prt.sys, Hung import HAL.dll READ_PORT_UCHAR-> sppz.sys + 0x11B90; "' Object is hidden.  Is this a false positive, or should I remove these rootkits?  If so, how?  These have been reported after that I installed the Windows updates on June 14, 2012.

You need to scan with a program SPECIALLY designed to detect and remove rootkits (aswMBR):

Download this file to your desktop. Double-click the icon to run the program. When the opportunity to download and install the latest Avast definitions do.
Run a scan. Results in red indicate that this was not a false positive! Do you need to remove the rootkit (including "FixMBR" if necessary).

    Not enough information.

    Of course - you send messages to a Microsoft support forum and one could assume that you mean that you try to download Microsoft Security Essentials, save it to your computer and install it then - but even with this hypothesis - another that knowing you have Windows XP (probably Home edition, but possibly professional or Media Center editions - and probably more than 32-bit not 64 - bit)-we do not like you think we should knowledge.

    Regarding AntiVirus - free are very good: Avira, AVG, Avast

    You could spend ~ 60USD during two years of eSET NOD32 AntiVirus (not more - just AntiVirus.)

    Get one - save on your computer (do not install immediately.)

    Reset...

    After a reboot - install your new product and update after the installation.

    Run a full scan with it.

    Then - just to make sure you started on the right foot...

    Search for malware:

    Download, install, execute, update and perform analyses complete system with the two following applications:

    Remove anything they find. Reboot when necessary. (You can uninstall one or both when finished.)

    Search online with eSet Online Scanner. Remove everything it finds.

    Reset.

  • I'm having a few bad experieces with free anti-virus download websites. Can anyone recommend a?, also I don't mined paying a quid off ebay or something like.

    I had experiences of somebad with especially anti-virus software downloads. Many of these sites are unscroupolous download software on your PC that offers a free scan and tells you your computer is riddled with viruses and then if you click on repair, they try to charge you, and then I got one which kept hijack my browser to its own Internet site all the time, telling me that I had to buy this software now because my PC is at risk. To tell you the truth, I'm sick of these scam sites and if someone can recommend a trusworthy site or know where I can buy a CD at good / so please let me know. Regards, Darren.

  • Free anti-virus is this useful?

    Is a free anti-virus with a value of use on any PC?
    Because I know spyware and viruses of days now are developing every day, steal or damage to our PC.
    I want to know what is the best to use.

    Should I get a licensed software that is reliable like Norton, McAfee, PC Tools, Live One Care etc. or get a free anti-virus, because a lot of people say it's better that it detects a wide range of viruses, spyware and can repair our PC etc., better than Norton, McAfee, PC Tools and Live One Care.

    In these days of multiple and different types of infections (virus, Trojan, Malware, spyware, etc., you need more of a bloated anti-virus Security Suite to protect you.

    The big 3, Norton, McAfee and Trend are trying to be everything to everyone and fail miserably.

    You are much better running of more specialized programs, particularly for the Malware/Spyware removal.

    I recommend a combination of the following 4 programs:

    http://www.avast.com/eng/download-avast-home.html

    Avast anti-virus is XP and Vista (32-bit and 64-bit Versions) FREE, - automatic update and a user of low resources from your computer.

    And, don't have 1 (one) anti-virus installed / running on your computer at any time.

    Conflicts can occur if you have more than 1 (one).

    http://www.Spybot.info/en/index.html

    Spybot Search & Destroy 1.6.2 is a very good Anti-Spyware FREE program.

    Download, install, update and immunize your system with it.

    Then ANALYZE with her.

    Update and scan your system once a fortnight.

  • "ClamWin" free anti-virus works on Windows 7 Professional? I have a machine running test the RC.

    ClamWin installed and scans. However: each element that he scanned was "access denied" by the operating system. What gives? I am reluctant to introduce a virus to see if it would be detected and deleted, because it could eventually mutate and get into nature. What is the best way to see if it works?

    Hello Scooter313,

    Thanks for posting on the Microsoft answers Forum.

    According to the website of ClamWin, it works on Windows 7.
    http://www.ClamWin.com/content/view/71/1/


    On their Web site: ClamWin is an Free Antivirus for Microsoft Windows 7 / Vista / XP / Me / 2000 / 98 and Windows Server 2008 and 2003.

    However, on the http://www.windows.com/compatibility site, it does not appear.

     

    Microsoft also offers a free download called AntiVirus compatible with Windows 7

    Essential Windows security. I have included the site here if you are interested in reading about it.
