Rootkit Detection Trojain.Boot.HideMBR.d [FALSE POSITIVE]

So today I booted up my computer from hibernation and when it loads I boot up hitman pro and run an early warning scan only expecting to see nothing. Well to cut to the point it’s detected a rootkit (More specifically Trojain.Boot.HideMBR.d) and I have no idea of how to deal with this or if it’s detecting my computer’s Samsung Recovery Solution. Please help ASAP. I already ran TDSSkiller and it couldn’t find this.

And this is the TDSSkiller log.

You know the drill.

Adwcleaner/MBAM/OTL/ and very important!!! AswMBR if the MbR is infected

Here is the MBAR log.

15:38:10.0045 0x14ec Detected object count: 0 15:38:10.0045 0x14ec Actual detected object count: 0 15:38:33.0024 0x13c8 Deinitialize success
TDSSKiller (Kaspersky) does not detect it I would trust hitmanpro as far as I could throw it

And how much is that?

About half an inch :slight_smile:

So you also think it’s a False Positive? Also how do you get a computer to run in safe mode without holding down the power button?

Here is the OTL log.

I also have that message from HitmanPro and i also have Samsung Recovery Solution… Don’t know if we are infected?

If there are no other indications I would ignore it

It’s a false positive alright. I just had to use the Samsung Recovery solution (Found out my AV doesn’t like safe mode and it broke) and this is waaaay before it appeared and now it’s showing. So now thanks to hitman showing me something false I have a few hours of re-updating things. Never using that program again. Thanks for the help Essex glad it was a false showing.

No problem, but I do find that these “we can find and kill any malware” type programmes very dangerous

Indeed from now on I’ll just trust my AV.
