Rootkits found


Recommended Posts

Hi, i just installed AVG 2014 (30 day free trial) to my laptop and did a scan. It found 3 rootkits which are named

 

Threat: Service function NtMapViewOfSection hook -> 0xFFFFFFFF8782F280

Severity: Medium 

State: Infected

 

Threat: Service function NtCreateThreadEx hook ->  0xFFFFFFFF878517A0

Severity: Medium 

State: Infected

 

Threat: Service function NtalpcConnectPort hook ->  0xFFFFFFFF869E5428

Severity: Medium 

State: Infected

 

with a red X next to them. When I click them to remove the remove selected button doesn't work. I did a quick scan with MBAM and it said 0 threats. I then did a full scan and it found 36 threats, but they were all PUPs which I deleted.

I did a specific rootkit scan after that with AVG and it found the same 3 rootkits again.

 

Do these need to be removed and if so how?

Thanks for reading.
