I am running Avast and the computer scans clean with Avast and Malwarebytes. All drivers are digitally signed and all system files validate, however I am getting “Code Integrity has determined that the page hashes of file sxs.dll are invalid” from the Microsoft security auditing. I check disked , kill disked , fdisked, reformatted the disk and reloaded Win 7.0 and 7.1 only to see the exact same error. I took the install disks to another computer and did the same and no security error. How do I fix the security breached file “sxs.dll” on the computer and how do I stop it from happening again? Thanks. (This is on a bran new computer that has tested rock solid and is about 4 times as fast as the obsolete Intel 975,980 and 990 computers in real world usage. Malwarebyte and Avast scans are 4 times as fast)
Pon…, thanks. I see from the first 2 pages of Google search that were green sites per Avast, that the problem may be "Realteck’ drivers that are on both computers. However the offending computer has newer drivers than the non offending computer. Should I try to install older drivers for the “Realteck” or were you trying to say something else? Thanks
nope…i am not saying anything…just googled for info
Ok, I have started on the “FIX” quest. I am reasonably inclined to think that it is a non-(INTENTIONAL)malware driver that is doing the unauthorized security tampering. When I tinker with drivers, is there a simple way to get back the non security breached “sxs.dll” file to test the new drivers without having to reload “Win” again every time I test out a new driver? Simply replacing the driver leaves the security breached file on the computer. Thanks
Apparently there is no easy way to undo the security breached file and Avast will not stop nor repair the security breach. Other than the hard disk filling up with security breach error/warnings is there any other danger I should be aware of on the computer having a security breached file that is part of the side by side security apparatus of Windows? In other words should I even waste time fixing the security breach? Thanks.
Let me put it another way. I am constantly bombarded by Chinese internet attacks daily. Drivers I loaded bear the" trademark" of the Chinese military. They say right on the package “Made in China”. Should I be paranoid and concern myself with them opening a back door security hole that Avast does not see nor fix???

if so, follow this guide and attach the logs so Essexboy can have a look inside

Pon…, Thanks. I do not know what the computer is at this time. All I know is that I have wasted days/weeks/months of my time with Norton, Mac…, Kap…, Com… and etc. to try to keep security risks off my computers and over the last few years I have NOT succeeded. I am verry, verry, verry frustrated. Now I get disks bearing the “Trademark” of the Chinese military, same ones that daily attack my computers, that may be doing “UNAUTHERIZED” and successful security tampering on my computer. Nice Christmas present. I really do need a life.
follow the guide and let Essexboy have a look inside…he can also see other problems than malware from these logs
