RogueKiller / Re: antirootkit driver failed to load
« on: January 13, 2017, 05:07:57 AM »
The driver loaded when I booted in normal mode, so that is good. However, I would recommend that the program be rewritten to permit full operation in safe mode, if that is possible (I am not a software engineer, obviously), to avoid interference by malware.
Unfortunately for me, whatever is affecting my computer is working through an svchost.exe process, and it consumes all of my RAM within a few minutes of startup (I do not have this problem in Safe Mode). As a result, RogueKiller crashes before it can complete a scan. I submitted a crash report after the last attempt. Since then I have been trying to find another way to clean my system. I hope the crash report is helpful for development.
Thank you for your efforts.

UPDATE: I ran a memory check/repair from the F8 boot menu, just because. It did not find anything, but the system ran better after. I ran RogueKiller again,but it still crashed. However, I noticed shortly before the crash that Microsoft Security Essentials alerted that it detected something. I thought it had been disabled, but I saw that Real Time Protection was still checked. I turned that off and did another scan with RogueKiller; this time it completed the scan and detected a couple of problems: TeaTimer.exe from Spybot Search & Destroy, and ZwDeleteAtom (hook) in win32k.sys
merci beaucoup (did I spell that correctly?)
