GMER ntoskrnl.exe suspicious modification
« on: April 08, 2013, 03:56:17 AM »
Hello -

My system was recently cleaned of a siredef/zeroaccess infection, every single tool including Avast (malwarebytes, combofix, aswMBR, TDSSKiller, etc...) reports the system as clean although I continue to see these lines in my GMER log:

If you Google "ntoskrnl.exe suspicious modification" you'll find several other recent results of successfully cleaned malware that also receive that notification after cleaning. The file comes back clean in Virustotal and all checksums match although I suspect GMER is referring to the image in memory, not the file itself.

Is there anything to be concerned about?

That was probably where the data for the infected services file was stored, and then removed.. Hence the modification
