False Hooks or Legit? freaking out!
« on: March 19, 2016, 08:14:41 AM »
Hello everyone, I've recently reinstalled Windows 7 and so far so good but after installing RogueKiller I scanned my PC a few times and the only thing that has popped up were a view
Start Menu changes which was I who did them. Now the problem comes from this, I started scanning with RogueKiller while I had Chrome open and I got A LOT of these Hooks. After seeing this I started scanning my PC with TDSSKiller, ADWCleaner, JRT, Malwarebytes, Malwarebyte Anti-rootkit, HitmanPro, RKill, SUPER AntiSpyware, Avast and they were all clean. I also went with the trouble to even use Combofix.  I'm kinda freaking out because I have no idea how I got them, It only happens when I have Chrome open and the Extensions I'm using are Avast, Adblock, Adblock Plus, Magic Action, and uBlock Origins, I also use Avast Internet Security Paid. I'll try and attach two, one scan without Extensions and one with. Thank you for the help, this is making me super paranoid.

Hi MrSirSteven,

Welcome to Adlice.com Forum.
These hooks are related to Chrome sandboxing features and, therefore, are legit ones.

The IAT hooks are only displayed on Expert Mode.
I advice you to use RogueKiller Normal Mode, so they won't be displayed.

Regards.
