I use avast for my virus scan. A while ago it was doing an automatic update then I got his message on my monitor:
Suspicious File Found
A suspicious file has been detected (using a heuristic method.) This may be a sign of malwae infecion. Pleas allow the file to be submitted to our virus lab fir analysis
File name: C:\WINDOWS\System32\NTOS.EXE
Type: Rootkit: hidden files
Then it wants do know if I want to Delete now or Ignore
Recommende action: Ignore
When I googled C:\WINDOWS\System32\NTOS.EXE Ifound warnings not to delete and then with continued searching, I found this site
Any help would be appreciated very much, Thank you
