2WARNING - I will NOT be held responsible for any damages the software(s) and methods shown in this video may cause to yours or someone else's computer, hardware, software, and/or data, including loss of use of such devices and/or loss of data and/or loss of profits from the resulting inability to use such devices and data. Any information or program you choose to put into use from this video is done AT YOUR OWN RISK. As a precaution, I recommend backing up any irrecoverable data before installing and using ANY new software(s), including those shown in this video.
This video will show you the false positive rootkit reports (that pose no danger) that security softwares such as AVG Anti-Virus Free Edition 2012 can report when Sygate Personal Firewall (in my case version 5.6 build 2808) is present and active on one's PC. The affected files (Teefer.sys and wpsdrvnt.sys) are reported to be infected under tcpip.sys hooked import, IRP hook, and various service functions. In reality, these are components of Sygate Personal Firewall, and reflect how a software firewall filters incoming and outgoing network traffic for the end user to make the call as to which traffic is permitted and which traffic is blocked. These "infections" pose no risk and should be added to your security software's "safe list" or "exceptions list". Removal of these false positives WILL cause your Sygate Personal Firewall to cease functioning, leaving you vulnerable to the many dangers that are present from accessing the Internet unprotected.
