False Rootkit?

Hi.

Few days ago, Avast Free Antivirus (version 6) detects two rootkit. I attached screenshot (it’s in spanish).

After detection i reboot PC, but nothing happens, and avast detects again.

I used TDSSKiller and Malwarebites and I do not find anything.

Is it a false warning?, Do I have to worry about?, How do I remove them?

Thank you.

follow this guide and attach the 4 log`s

I have already run ComboFix and this is the log.

Service_COMSysApp
This is the one I was concerned about

Are you still gettting the detections ?

Thanks. The system is clean.

Subject to no further problems :slight_smile:

I will remove my tools now and give some recommendations, but, I would like you to run for 24 hours or so and come back if you have any problems

Now the best part of the day ----- Your log now appears clean :thumbsup:

A good workman always cleans up after himself so…The following will implement some cleanup procedures as well as reset System Restore points:
.
Run OTL
[*]Under the Custom Scans/Fixes box at the bottom, paste in the following

:Commands [resethosts] [emptytemp] [Reboot]

[*]Then click the Run Fix button at the top
[*]Let the program run unhindered, reboot the PC when it is done

.
Remove ComboFix
.

[*]Hold down the Windows key + R on your keyboard. This will display the Run dialogue box
[*]In the Run box, type in ComboFix /Uninstall (Notice the space between the “x” and “/”) then click OK
.

.
[]Follow the prompts on the screen
[
]A message should appear confirming that ComboFix was uninstalled

.
Run OTL and hit the cleanup button. It will remove all the programmes we have used plus itself.
.
We will now confirm that your hidden files are set to that, as some of the tools I use will change that

[*]Click Start.
[*]Open My Computer.
[*]Select the Tools menu and click Folder Options.
[*]Select the View Tab.
[*]Under the Hidden files and folders heading select Do not show hidden files and folders.
[]Click Yes to confirm.
[
]Click OK.
