Hey guys,

Just ran for the first time AVG Anti rootkit, and it came back with 1 result.

"Object name";"C:\Windows\System32\Drivers\aj2eg8k5.SYS"
"Detection name";"Hidden driver"
"SDK Type";"Rootkit"
"Result";"Object is hidden"

So when I click to heal and remove, AVG says: Some files cannot be healed. Access denied.

So I searched around the net and downloaded Autoruns by sysinternals. And located it in the drivers section.

It tells me that aj2eg8k5.SYS is an Atapi miniport driver. Developed by Microsoft corp. It has a file size of 0 bytes.

What do you guys reckon? Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.
 
I dont think thats really a driver from Microsoft so youre safe to delete it. Have you tried rebooting in safe mode and deleting the file yourself?
