Avira queries
« on: April 03, 2010, 08:00:01 PM »

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

652172 Objects were scanned with rootkit scan
      0 Hidden objects were found

so no hidden objects  report 

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.

Regards Jeff
