spider slow down here- what makes you think it's a root kit? That's an ATI driver file...yeah i followed instructions and posted the logs on spyware forum.

anti malware bytes shows it as a rootkit but anything else brings up nothing. any suggestion wot i should do with it being on an ati driver fileSorry- I wasn't AWARE that it had showed up anywhere.


do you have an ATI graphics CARD? If so, you could try re-installing the drivers, which hopefully
will overwrite your rootkit.

On the other hand, you're be much safer just following the instructions given by one of the malware experts.

You're in safe hands, I assure you. they know what they're doing.as far as i can see i have a sis not a ati graphics card well then! That file most definitely does not belong on your system!

Do not worry- just whatever you do- don't bump your thread in the malware forum- the specialists attend to older posts first.

I'm sure they'll help you soon!
