Hi.
Yesterday I had avast detect a Rootkit threat found. I followed the suggested advice and "deleted" and rebooted and allowed Avast to do a full scan before my computer started. The results came back clean and no threat detected.
Twice last night the same message popped up again, I did the delete and reboot again with the same results so with the 3rd time I ignored.
Tonight I'm having the same problem only now I'm getting an error message saying action was unable to be performed. I performed a scan and I threat was detected but I haven't done a reboot as of yet simply because it takes so damn long and I dont want to have the same results as last night.
I have a few screen shots of the log for the scan and the message I received but I'm unsure how to attached them/post them.
The result reads as -
File name SVC:swcustcfg>
Severity High
Status Threat: Rootkit: hidden service
Action Delete
Result X Error: Error: 0xA0000101.(-1610612479)
Is this a false positive??
Thanks
Kylie
