Tech Support Forum - View Single Post - Need assistance removing NTOSKRNL-HOOK

rpaulie · 07-03-2009, 01:30 PM

Hello all,

I found this thread with a similar resolution

Ntoskrnl-hook

However, after reading the solution for using this particular software I am not sure if I would need to apply the same procedure so I am posting here.

Same deal. Every time I run McAfee, it says NTOSKRNL-HOOK is removed but it always appears every time I run it again. Also, Malaware Bytes - Anti-Malware cannot pick it up. I ran both programs on Safe Mode as well. No dice.

Here is the trend from HiJackThis.

Thank you for all help:
