Re: NT Kernel_System has changed since the last time you used it.

ntoskrnl.exe is a critical process in the boot-up cycle of the computer, that's why the warning pops up whenever you turn your computer on. The change can be due to a recent update. If you want to put your mind at ease, you can have it scanned here or here.

On top of the page there is a field to add the filepath, copy and paste this filepath:

C:\WINDOWS\system32\ntoskrnl.exe

Then hit Submit
The scan will take a while before the result comes up.
