Re: Lots of issues

Well, when I'm doing a malware removal on a fairly infected machine, and I find a driver (sys file) in an odd folder that can't be identified on Google or my databases, I ask questions.

So, you said "some programs I use"

What type of programs?

Are there file properties associated with that file which indicate a company it's from? Do you recognize it?
