Title: Rootkit found, avast keep warning me just after computer startup
Post by: Amaryl on January 10, 2014, 06:47:18 PM
Hello,

two days ago, Avast showed me this message
(http://getwebb.org/d/FTJWlbQe)

"Rootkit found... it is recommended to delete". I confirmed Avast could delete it, I don't care about this service anyway. Then Avast tells me it is recommended to schedule a scan at startup and then reboot. I did that do. Here is the result of the scan:

(http://getwebb.org/d/b8sAsjzt)

During the scan, I chose to delete the files.

But now, Avast keep giving me the same messages again and again just after the computer started. I thought maybe Avast just couldn't delete the file because the service is running, but why wouldn't it just acknoledge that?

What should I do?

mDNSResponder, Win32:Evo-gen, HideMe-F trojan

Ok, but I don't find this process anymore in the Task manager, neither do I find the corresponding service in the Services window, nor the exe file. And I know it used to be there though! I did search about it in the past...
