tiwblkf.sys and wcay.sys
« on: May 29, 2010, 09:11:34 AM »
Hello

I was wondering if anyone could tell me if these are 2 rookits or not? because they are being detected by Hitman Pro as such by A2 and Prevx, a look on google by me returned nothing on either, a scan by MBAM came up clean and the upload to virustotal came up with the same result for both here it is.

only 3/41. Is it safe to say these are false positives?

thank you

Acctualy, I believe those both were actual real rootkits, I was doing some heavy downloading yesterday and I checked the date they were created (around the same time as I was downloading) and neither one had a digital signature, sorry I didnt grab any copies to submit  :(

Virustotal being an on-demand scan is highly unlikely to detect it as a rootkit (these detections appear to be generic/suspect/heuristic) as that requires special anti-rootkit scanning to compare what is shown as running in the windows api and what is actually running.
