Possible Kernel Problem

[moldybagel23]

Hi,

My firewall keeps detecting a kernel program that is trying to start. I'm pretty sure it is a virus because AVG was flagging it to me on the internet last night, but AVG will find nothing during a scan, here is a fresh HJT log, please instruct me to remove anything that is harmful. Thanks.

(by the way I know a decent amount about computers so I can follow any instructions)

Hi moldybagel23

If you have not resolved the problem, we have this sticky topic:

If you have waited four days for advice post here. (http://forums.spybot.info/showthread.php?p=4836#post4836)

Hi

We need file names and locations
Perhaps one of both of these online scans will help

Panda ActiveScan-Free online scanner,
http://www.pandasoftware.com/products/activescan.htm
Do a full scan > Click the my computer button
After the scan click see report then Save the report and post it back here please.
Kaspersky Lab - Free Online scan:
http://www.kaspersky.com/virusscanner
Click scan settings and place a check next to use [x]extended this database etc etc. Click ok.
Then choose: my computer: scan all your hard drives and mapped disks.
when finished click save as text and post that in your reply.
We dont need to see item's listed as "Object is locked skipped" so edit those out.
We do not need to see items reported that are in an antivirus quorantine folder.

Where else have you posted for help?

As you are in at least two training schools this is important for you to know:
"BEFORE you POST" -Preliminary Steps and scanning with SPYBOT-S&D (http://forums.spybot.info/showthread.php?t=288)


Multi forum posters waste valuable volunteer resources, so please don't.
