Hello JorgeGonzalez, :greeting:

Most entries are your AVG 10 anti virus.

Regarding,

Do you recognize the name, perhaps this software: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zylom

How is the computer running? :)

Hi tashi,

Thanks for your answer!

My computer is running ok. No problems.

yes. regarding Zylom I found the same information. I will probably delete those files.

Actually, I was worried about this:

File:"No admin in ACL","C:\$Recycle.Bin\S-1-5-18"
File:"No admin in ACL","C:\$Recycle.Bin\S-1-5-21-1383603232-337481022-996218204-1000\12Q0JG7YDC34P1HE6EC6UHIH504J9BZ6V"

because I read about some usual rootkits that use the Recycle Bin files.
Is there a way to find if those are rootkits?

Thanks!

Have you tried to empty your recycle bin? :)

Yes. An it was empty when I run the analysis. (and generaly I use the Eraser to empty it, so I'm pretty sure there were no files :) )

Just in case, let me clarify that though the log indicates both results as "File:" :

File:"No admin in ACL","C:\$Recycle.Bin\S-1-5-18"
File:"No admin in ACL","C:\$Recycle.Bin\S-1-5-21-1383603232-337481022-996218204-1000\12Q0JG7YDC34P1HE6EC6UHIH504J9BZ6V"

when the results of the analysis first appear, they were under the "Folder" category.

Hi tashi,

UPDATE: here's an update regarding some things I found. Hopefully, you'll be able to help me figure out if the Zylom items are related to a rootkit or not.

Here's a detail, step by step, of what I did and found.

1) I deleted the following items using the RootAlyzer:

File:"Unknown ADS","C:\Users\AAA:zylomtest:$DATA"
File:"Unknown ADS","C:\Users\AAA:zylomtr{000HQ7FF-AD7A-3FG5-CHL5-24516UNKQ673}:$DATA"
File:"No admin in ACL","C:\Users\AAA\AppData\Local\Temp\~DF52554E94D011384E.TMP"

2) Run the scan again, and the .tmp was deleted, but the zylom items appeared again in the scan results.

3) I unhid both hidden and system files, and try to find the two items in "C:\Users". They didn't show in the search.

4) I search the term "zylom" in the whole "C:\" drive, and found a Zylom folder (with some subfolders) both in "Allusers" and in "AAA" (this is my user). They seem to be like leftovers of an uninstalled software. So I deleted all of them.
(sorry I don't have more details about the folders, but at that moment I wasn't keeping a record of what I was doing)

5) Restarted Windows, and run the RootAlyzer scan. The zylom files appeared again on the scan results. I deleted them, run the scan but they appeared again.

6) Next, I tried to search in the registry. I opened the Regedit and search for the term "zylom" and I deleted everything I found.
In blue font, is a list of all the things I found and deleted:

7) Then, I restarted Windows, opened Regedit, search for "zylom" and found nothing.

8) Run the RootAlyzer scan, and again found the zylom items:

File:"Unknown ADS","C:\Users\AAA:zylomtest:$DATA"
File:"Unknown ADS","C:\Users\AAA:zylomtr{000HQ7FF-AD7A-3FG5-CHL5-24516UNKQ673}:$DATA"

9) I deleted them using the RootAlyzer, but the zylom items appeared again in the scan results.

That's as far as I got with this issue. And I still can't get rid of those zylom files :(

Of the things I found using the Regedit, there are two items that might indicate how the zylom files entered my pc:

{0.0.0.00000000}.{f2e9341e-e2b2-4cce-b084-271af45d2c16}|\Device\HarddiskVolume3\Mula\Carrera de mente\Zylom.Games.Univesal.Patcher.v1.0.exe%b{00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000}

and

{0.0.0.00000000}.{f2e9341e-e2b2-4cce-b084-271af45d2c16}|\Device\HarddiskVolume1\Program Files\Zylom Games\Trivial Pursuit Genus Edition Deluxe\Zylom.Games.Univesal.Patcher.v1.0.exe%b{00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000}

They refer to a trivia game ("Trivial Persuit" in english, "Carrera de mente" in spanish). I don't remeber installing the game, but it's possible. The two files found by the RootAlyzer were created on March 2010, so there's a chance I forgot about it. :)

I searched for this "Zylom.Games.Univesal.Patcher.v1.0.exe" or the term "zylom" in all the drives (not just C:\) but I couldn't find it. (maybe I deleted them, see point 4) ).

tashi, if you are still awake after reading all this :) I hope you can help figure out if this is a rootkit or not.

Thanks in advanced for your help.

Best regards

Jorge

The remnants of the game may be an annoyance but there appears to be no reason to think it is a rootkit. :)

Have you heard of Revo uninstaller?
I've seen quite a few users who report it worked for them, at your own risk of course: http://www.pcworld.com/article/23151...installer.html

tashi,

Thank you for your answer.

Yes. When you asked regarding Zylom I didn't search for more information because I thought it would be easy to erase with the RootAlyzer. But it wasn't.

Regarding Revo, I been using it for many years. But since the Zylom software was uninstalled before, is not possible to use it now.

Anyway. Thanks.

Best regards

Jorge
