Zekos - Black Screen of Death
« on: February 16, 2014, 02:44:46 AM »
Just downloaded and ran the latest version of Rogue Killer.

root.zekos was detected, after clicking 'delete' I was asked to reboot.  Now getting the black screen of death. 

I found this post but the file does not appear to be accessible any longer - http://www.geekstogo.com/forum/topic/336680-solve-zekos-black-screen-after-rpcssdll-replacement/

Any help would be greatly appreciated and worth a donation.

Your instructions were still very helpful.  I just pulled the drive and used an external cable to modify the rpcss.dll file from another W7 PC.  Everything seems to be working fine now.

Hello
What was your RogueKiller version?
This is supposed to no longer happen now

I should have written down the permissions problem but what I do remember is that there were two listed for SYSTEM, the first one did not inherit and the second one did.  There was a second one that was I deleted but I don't remember what it was.

Do you remember the permissions given to the new file?
Because this was the issue. Since 8.8.4 it's replacing the replaced file permissions with the ones from the original (infected) one.
