Hi, I've just switched to AVG and it's raising alerts that SYSTEM32/SVKP.SYS is infected with RemoteAdmin.AVE. I can't find any info anywhere about this, which is a little unusual. There are no ill effects on my machine, the alert appeared seconds after midnight, indicating possible association with a scheduled task. The AVG website doesnt provide any specifics. Any one have any ideas? Any help would be appreciated...
Thanks - sprat

The presence of SVKP.SYS does not necessarily mean that this trojan is installed. SVKP.SYS is part of SVK Protector, which this trojan is packed with. SVK Protector is used in innocent programs as well.
It is entirely possible that this is a false positive.

If you suspect a file may be a
False positive, get a second opinion by submitting the file to
jotti's virusscan or
virustotal.com.
In the "
File to upload & scan" box, browse to the location of the suspicious file and submit [upload] it for scanning/analysis.
