"C:\Windows\System32\Drivers\acgr0o4b.SYS";"Hidden driver";"Object is hidden"

Cant find any info on the driver, don't want to delete it until I know it wont effect my OS..?

It's certainly not the name of a legit driver. To see it, you can try either Safe Mode, or use a bootable CD with an OS on it (like UBCD4Win) so that the driver doesn't load and hide itself. You can then look at its properties. But if it were me, I'd delete it fast before it does whatever it is programmed to do.

Well I deleted it....

So that's a file AVG detected as being a rootkit?

Peace...

well, I restared my computer and deleted it, but I did a scan and the same hidden driver is there, it just keeps renaming itself?

tomdkat? do you know what it is?

Nope, I have no idea at all what that file is. I was just wondering if AVG detected it as a rootkit or not.

Peace...
