I am curious because if I do a google search on secdrv.sys it doesn't come up as such. :unsure: Please advise. and edited to add I am concerned because I let MBAM delete everything.

Nah, shouldn't cause any serious issues. You can re-acquire it from your windows XP cdrom should you need it.

I did a search with a FF extension made specifically for malware searches. That's what I got from Threat Expert. If nosirrah says it's a F/P then that's where I would put my $. There is also here . I don't think you searched very well, it has mixed reviews. http://www.google.com/search?q=secdrv&...lient=firefox-a

It was a FP as the malware that comes with this (a lot of other malware) is nowhere to be seen .

There were 2 DB versions that this FP existed in and the first scan log shows that you did have one of the two .

That being said the file in question here is far from critical and unliekly to ever have an impact on your system one way or another so restoring (while recommended) will likely not change the function of your computer one way or another .
