AVG Hidden Drivers

graham12 · 08-16-2009, 07:35 AM

I have AVG 8.5. It recently detected 2 hidden drivers, a tmcomm.sys and a a1ibizco.SYS. My computer seems to be functioning ok, but i want to know what these are. I have read that daemon tools does this, and i have just recently uninstalled daemon tools lite. any help identifying/removing these would be appreciated

tmcomm.sys is from TrendMicro, from Housecall online scanner or from Trend's AV.

The other driver is remnant of Daemon Tools.

See this for complete removal of the sptd driver Daemon Tools uses
