aswMBR query

Viruses and worms

Hi All

I recently used aswMBR for the first time and in modules scanning the following came up in red -

ntkrnlpa.exe CLASSPNP.SYS disk.sys sfsync02.sys hal.dll atapi.sys spjz.sys >>UNKNOWN [0x8ad3b938]<<

As I am not very computer literate I was guided by a Malware Response Instructor at BleepingComputer, using JRT, AdwCleaner, ComboFix, TDSSKiller, OTL and DDS to search for any infection after I had used Avira, MBAM and SUPERAntiSpyware, all negative. I have rerun aswMBR with the same result as above and TDSSKiller again with no detection.

Is this a false positive that has been seen before? I thought this would be the best forum to ask as it is an Avast product.

I should add that the computer has been running without problems throughout and it is only the log entry that concerns me.

Many thanks

Yes Avast has flagged that Daemon tools driver is hooking the MBR

spjz.sys >>UNKNOWN
