Hi Michellee!

Apparently the windrvNT.sys driver file is installed by the "Folder Lock" application that can be used to hide files, folders, pictures and documents using rootkit techniques. The file has been in detection since the end of 2007. We will re-investigate the file and the installing application and in the mean time the "windrvNT.sys" driver file will be removed from detection as of the next definition file update.

Regards,

LS Pekka
