Hi
Yesterday the Avira scan reported a Hidden object (first time ever )
today no such report . so I had a further look
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
part of yesterday's report
Search for rootkits.................: on
Starting search for hidden objects.
c:\windows\system32\sndvol.exe
c:\Windows\System32\SndVol.exe
[NOTE] The process is not visible.
654938 Objects were scanned with rootkit scan
1 Hidden objects were found

0 Hidden objects were found

It seems that Avira sometimes checks for rootkit hidden objects sometimes not .
2 questions
1 does anyone Know why this happens ? and make sure that the hidden objects are consistently scanned
2 Am I right in thinking that c:\Windows\System32\ SndVol.exe is a safe Windows file.
