If you’ve decided to live with the (possible) rootkit situation make sure you delete all sensitive information on your PC such as email contacts, banking details, passwords etc. or any information which could possibly be of use to a potential hacker.
You also need to ensure the rootkit it doesn’t attack other machines on the network and that you don’t cross infect any other Windows machines you have, or come into contact with.
I still think it’s worth giving Kaspersky TDSSKiller a run to see if it finds anything so at least you will know if there is an actual infection. It’s simple to use and you can download it direct from Kaspersky’s website - if you can find it tucked away there - or from Major Geeks…

Have you looked to see if yours does?
Doesn't solve the MBAM problem but may ease your concerns by running other software to check for potential rootkits0 -

Will try as you suggest now.:beer:0 -
Thanks Gillor, I would like to find it if possible, because, it may affect my I-pad and network, e-mail etc.
Will try as you suggest now.:beer:
Just need to find out why, it crashes when I turn rottkits on in Mbam now?
Will try the forum next.
Thanks all.appreciate all your help.:beer:0 -
If confident, as you have W7 why not run ComboFix that may well sort it.
Does anyone on here actually have rootkit scan turned on, on their mbam as a default setting?0 -

just looked at combofix, and don't know if I'm up to what it may, or, may not do?
never used it before, but, read about it on here before.
I don't want to start something, I cannot finish:)
Great piece of software but if you are not sure what you are doing I would steer clear.
From Combofix website..Combofix is designed for advanced users and IT professionals. The software’s barebones interface, and powerful cleaning capabilities may lead to mistakes that can completely disable a PC0
