AVG keeps on finding this rootkit (IRP hook) that I can't seem to get rid of. I have AVG anti-rootkit, but it says there's no threat after a scan, which isn't true. Any ideas on how to attack it?

I found this using google, I don't really know much about rootkits or whatever, but it looks like these guys might. It seems a little daunting, but may be worth a look.

I'm using that as well. Isn't doing a damn thing.

Post about it on the malwarebytes forum. Those guys will help you with it, and set up definitions for it very quickly. They do good work.

Another thing I used to use (been a while though) is a program called BHR. I got it from here:

http://download.cnet.com/Browser-Hijack-Recover-BHR/3000-8022_4-10316141.html?tag=mncol;2

A bit dated, but might work for you (not sure it would on Windows 7). Worth a shot, anyway.

It may be a false positive, thanks to a game called Starforce, or another.

Dump AVG and try Avast for a while. I bet it is a false positive. You can test individual files at Virustotal.com

AVG finds 28 rootkits with this message and path:

"";"C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\AnfdTDnt.sys";"IRP hook, \Driver\Tcpip IRP_MJ_FILE_SYSTEM_CONTROL ->

AnfdTDnt.sys IAnfdTDSystemInformation+0x5E7";"Object is hidden"

However, the file is not there because the program (Ahn Lab) was deleted.

I'm not sure how I got it. It's my work computer, so God knows who is using it and what junk they have on the USB's they are putting into the drive, or what sites they are going to or what stuff they are downloading. I just found out that my classroom is being used as an after school classroom, so now I can't keep it locked by password.

Swampfox: I downloaded BHR, but the rootkit still came up on the daily scan.

I'll try Avast and see if that works.

You may be right. I tested the files and they came up on virustotal.com as okay. I'll switch to Avast and see how that goes.
