@aabbccdd, no.

@Jurgennop, it's there. Follow the instructions for AVG Antirootkit, if nothing shows up tell me. It it does show, finish all instructions.

 

spy sweeper has the option to check for rootkits yes,it's an option.

Run AVG Antirootkit, it won't hurt to scan and be sure.

 

will do when i get home,thanks.

 

so,i just ran the avg antirootkit and it didn't find anything,thank god!!Good thing i didn't allow smitfraud to install msguard...So i suppose now it's sure that i'm clean,right?

 

SmitfraudFix is not trying to install MSGuard! It is only checking for it.

I suppose you're clean, but aren't you still having problems?

 

then why did i get zonealarm saying that smitfraud wanted to install a new driver or service when i ran a scan with smitfraud??
that's no coincidence,right?
No problems anymore though...

 

Smitfraud is spyware, Smitfraud[bold]Fix[/bold](what you're using) is a program to fix desktop hijack malware. It needs to install the following to be used: SrchSTS.exe, swreg.exe, swsc.exe and process.exe. It is [bold]not[/bold] trying to install MSGuard, it is only checking for it.

Anyway, great to hear your not having problems any more. Anything else comes up let me know.

Good luck!

 

thanks,i still think it's strange that when i installed smitfraudfix,that's when zonealarm popped up with the message saying that smitfraudfix wanted to install msguard...

 

Thank you Niobis.

I found this thread about AVG Anti-Rootkit Beta through a posting by jsin22 at .

I was at wits-end, but this solved a BSOD problem that could have been mistaken for a DRAM issue (i.e. "Stop 8E" on some installs). There are many quotes like the following on the Web, "STOP 0x0000008e is definitely a ram error." WRONG! After swapping RAM modules and slots and the BSOD not being random enough I kept digging until I found this.

As I wrote AVG, "Effin Awesome! Give me AVG beta over MS GM any day."

BACKGROUND
I was fixing a beleaguered Presario 2204US for a friend. To give you an idea it had 200,000 "*.t" files on it, 75% fragmentation, and 28GB of 40GB used. Now it is running smoothly with only 7GB, but moving around at first was like walking through a house full of 100,000 empty beer cans.

Zone Alarm blue-screened on install, Kaspersky didn't so I used it. When I finally got to upgrading it to XP SP2 it would blue screen on most updates, ESPECIALLY IE7 VIA WEB OR STANDALONE INSTALL. The system would then BSOD shortly after normal boot up, but would only BSOD during an install in Safe Mode.

After many dead ends, I found this thread and with nothing left to lose I eagerly ran AVG Anti-Rootkit Beta. Worked like a charm. lcx32.sys was the culprit.

Thanks Again.
