Hello PCWorld Forum,
My startup icons are set to include 1. my cam 2. power options 3. volume control 4. network connection 5. anti-virus.
Usually every second re-start only 4. net conn and 5. anti-virus icons are displayed.
I have PCTune for registry error correction but that doesn't make any difference.
Also, in additon to my regular full-time AV, I run Malwarebytes Anti-Malware every month (manually), but both never report a virus.
My concern has been raised after reading a docu here on PCWorld about rootkit virus's. I have always kept my PC up-to-date with MS's Windows Updates (and I have a legal version of Win XP, duly registered thru the Verification Program).
The bottom line: could I have a rootkit infection? and how can I detect it?
Sincerely (and Thanking-You), Frederick.
