Some rootkit scanners are specialist tools and should only be run under supervision by qualified disinfection people.

The free version of MBAM has a Rootkit scan option but you can also use Norton's Norton Power Eraser, although the latter has been known to take out legit programs but has a restore/undo facility - but creating your own restore point is the safest bet.

Had you cleaned out the system following my advice in your networking thread ?

Run the free version of MBAM with the Rootkit option enabled and then NPE.

In MBAM you need to click on Settings then on Detection and Protection and check the Rootkit box.

NPE is an aggressive scanner when clicking on the default button on the face page, but clicking on Advanced gives you other options.

You could also give it a full scan with MSRT by going Start - type mrt then press enter and opt for the full scan.

If you think you are still infected then you could register on www.techsupportforum.com - open the Trojan and Virus section and after reading the pre-requisites open your thread and explain what you have done so far and what RogueKiller is reporting - if it still is after running those other programs.

The people in that section are all Mods and specially trained in disinfection.

It could well be a FP and may be worth registering on that forum and posting its report - or just ignore it if it isn't having any adverse effects on the computer - you can normally tell when you are infected.

I recently had Norton 360 blocking AdwCleaner from downloading because if found a heuristic in it and I had to contact Norton to get them to whitelist it.

As usual, they go though the procedure that quickly that you can't follow what they are doing :)

It did that for a while before with AdwCleaner but it cleared up on its own that time after a few days.

I am already a member there! so how much memory Norton products needed (Because I have removed MSE)? I've heard it's used too much memory ? and Norton products are the worst by catching false Positives detection ! and they flagged a lot of Legitimate software!

The only FPs I've had with Norton 360 are what I've already posted.

Norton 360 is no longer available as Symantec have restructured their products and I think it's now Norton Security, but my Norton 360 is currently using about 12MB of RAM in total (AV and Firewall).

The only downside for me with 360 is that restoring from a system image normally breaks it with the Sonar Protection updates failing and that requires an uninstall/reinstall along with all of its Definitions.

It doesn't like being restored at all and I sometimes have to do a manual check for updates on it following Windows Updates before it will allow me to browse - otherwise it's fine :D

Kaspersky is near the top of the heap these days so having a look for a review of that could prove useful or you could go for the free version of Comodo. https://www.comodo.com/home/internet-security/free-internet-security.php?track=2720&key5sk0=2720&key5sk1=0bad22a15a098ee9800d2dbc3197e6ce855cf802

I've been thinking about this one for when my 360 expires.

Have a Google for best freebie AV programs or paid for ones.
