Trojan.Dropper on ntoskrnl.exe - help please

I did a scan with Norton and no problem has arisen, however I did a scan with Spyhunter3 and he found a Trojan.Dropper virus in the ntoskrnl.exe. How can I fix it?

The path of the file he has identified is C:\WINDOWS\$hf_mig$\KB890859/SP2QFE/ntoskrnl.exe

Things, I read, I can't just delete the file - the computer needs this exe file...?

Not sure how it can be cleaned?

Suggestions for a beginner would be appreciated.

Thank you

Hello

I suspect a false positive.

You can download it again and too install KB890859 here:

http://www.Microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=F0683E2B-8E8F-474F-B8D8-46C4C33FCE99&displaylang=en

Also add Prevx to your safety and your scan with Malwarebytes.

Prevx - home - free small, fast and exceptional protection CLOUD, working with other security programs. It comes
a scan only, VERY EFFICIENT, if it finds something to come back here or use Google to see how to remove.
http://www.prevx.com/

PCmag - Prevx - Editor's choice
http://www.PCMag.com/Article2/0, 2817,2346862,00.asp

Also get Malwarebytes - free - use as scanner only. If you ever suspect malware, and that would be unusual with
Avast and Prevx running except a low occasional (not much), updated cookie and then run it as
a scanner. I have a lot of scanners and they never find anything of note that I started to use this configuration.

    Hello

    If you are not familiar with stuff like this the simplest way is to reinstall the device using Recovery DVD that you got with your laptop.

    Place the recovery media in the DVD drive and unplug the unit. Turn on the unit and press the C button and keep it down. On this way the DVD player will be a first in the boot priority. If everything works fine the recovery procedure will be implemented. Please follow the instructions on the screen.

    I hope that you have no file on the HARD drive because if you start the recovery procedure will be formatted the entire HARD drive and all files will be deleted.

    Good bye

    I tried to launch a system of diagnosis without a disk and everything going on. I then tried running windows in safe mode and it won't allow me. That's when I switched to an installation disc supplied with the system. I tried to recover the system from there, but it would not go beyond the option of choosing an operating system. Once I got to that screen, there was NO operating system choose.

  • New construction various errors usually ntoskrnl.exe - please help

    Recently, I built a new pc and installed Win 8.  A quick components list: i5 - 4670K and ASUS Z87 - has with Corsair Vengeance 16 GB DDR3 1600 Mhz and M500 Crucial SSD 120 GB and WD Green 2 TB HDD (2 x 8).

    Ever since the build, I have known many BSOD with the most common error is IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL is usually assigned to ntoskrnl.exe.

    I went through and updated all the drivers, run MemTest86, re-checked that different settings in the BIOS and MB Web site have where appropriate, although not most new BIOS.  Also have uninstalled antivirus.  Memtest86 showed no memory error.  I'm not totally sure how otherwise to see if a reinstall of Win 8 is necessary.  I believe that it has been updated to 8.1, but not in front of her now.

    Provide advice on things to try.  I have files of dump of crash I can if necessary.  I also reviewed the results of BluescreenView since I started having difficulties.  Tried using driververifier but not sure there's a clue in the BSOD on an interval regular for 3 to 5 minutes, I had with DRIVER_VERIFIER_IOMANAGER_VIOLATION or not.

    Any help would be appreciated!  Thank you.

    Correction of this problem.  Finally found where some BIOS memory settings were not optimized.

  • BSOD help (ntoskrnl.exe)

    I recently built a new computer for the first time and I am constantly a BSOD.  After consulting the minidump via the blue screen view files, it refers to the ntoskrnl.exe as the cause, but I suspect that maybe it's a corrupt driver (I could be wrong but).  Due to my lack of experience on this subject, however, I have no idea on how to identify the guilty and so need help.  As a result, I posted a link below containing the minidump files created by my computer and wish for some assistance on the interruption of information (any help would be greatly appreciated).

    We have various bug different controls:

    PFN_LIST_CORRUPT (4th)

    This indicates that the page frame number (PFN) list is corrupted.

    This error is usually caused by a driver passing a list of descriptor of bad memory. For example, the pilot could call MmUnlockPages twice with the same list. However, this bug control seems as frequently when there is a defective material, most often RAM or HARD disk.

    MEMORY_MANAGEMENT (1A)

    This indicates that an error occurred serious memory management.

    Error checking 1 a, {41287, 0, 0, 0}

    -1 setting of the bug check is 41287 indicating an illegal page fault occurred while now fixed synchronization of work.

    * Addition 41287, we have also the 1st parameter is 403 which indicates the table of page and NFPs are out of sync. It is probably a hardware error, although the device driver causing corruption is possible as well.

    PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA (50)

    This indicates that invalid system memory was referenced.

    Bug control 0 x 50 usually occurs after the installation of a faulty hardware or installation failure of material (usually associated with defective RAM, either main memory, L2 RAM or RAM video cache).

    Another common cause is a defective system service installation.

    Antivirus software can also cause this error, as a corrupted NTFS volume can do him.

    System_service_exception (3B)

    This indicates that an exception happened during execution of a routine that passes from non-preferred to the privileged code code.

    This error has been linked to the excessive use of expanded memory and resulting from user mode graphics drivers enjambment and passing data incorrect of the kernel code.
