ESET SysInspector report

Can you help me understand what SysInspector reports?

Please elaborate more on your request. ESET is not installed but Bitdefender's and Malwarebytes' drivers are loaded.

Bitdefender is not installed. I was trying Malwarebytes and is not helping. I had to uninstall ESET to avoid conflicts. I'm afraid my Windows registry is not ok because I've been facing an hacker attack with udp flooding too. Sfc /scannow successfully repaired corrupted files but I had to enable manually Trusted Installer as automatic.

UDP flooding is a DDoS targeted attack usually performed against servers. Check your gateway/router's firewall log for evidence of such an attack.

Yes, here it is...against my IP

Looks like the router blocked the attack successfully. However the firewall log entry doesn't make sense to me since the destination IP address is 151.50.153.26? Your router might be hacked and has been enrolled as part of a botnet.

That was my VPN temporary IP...I have tried so many times to reset the router and change things but I would have to set the firewall rules listing all the IP sources I find every single time and block them. So you confirm me that reported attacks are those which had been blocked, thank you.

My advice is to uninstall MBAM or at the very least, disable its real-time protection. Then install Eset Internet Security or Smart Security Premium. Finally, monitor what network connections are being blocked by the Eset firewall, IDS, etc..

[itman 1,746]

Here's a web site that lists routers with vulnerabilities: https://modemly.com/m1/pulse . If your router is shown to contain vulnerabilities, the latest firmware update to remove the vulnerability must be applied or the router replaced.

Ok, anyway what does "impossible to open [4]" in the report does it mean? Is it normal? ntuser.dat and catroot2 are listed like this...

Yes, it it normal. It means that Windows had a lock on the file and it can't be accessed by Eset.

As far as UDP flooding router log entry, the source IP is 45.155.19.88. This appears to be a legit ISP/telecom, UAB Linama. If I were to take the log entry at face value, it is this ISP/telecom that is performing the UDP flood attack against your VPN provider using your router as a middle-man source.

-EDIT- It appears this UAB Linama has subsidiaries in Italy. If this happens to be your ISP, it appears it is trying to bust your VPN connection via UDP flooding. If this is the case, you will have to ask them why they are performing this activity.

Ok, anyway ESET has found EFI/CompuTrace.A and I'm pretty sure is a malware (this would explain many things) but I asked to ASUS support to be sure.

Can you read Farbar? This is the log:

If this is an ASUS notebook/laptop, it most likely was installed at the factory. If Computrace was pre-installed by the PC vendor at the factory, in most cases it is not malware.

Eset detects it as a PUA. You can exclude the detection per instruction here: https://support.eset.com/en/kb6567-you-receive-an-eset-uefi-detection.

The only main issue I see in the log is Microsoft Security Center is not running.  Running MBAM w/real-time scanning concurrent with Eset in the past might be the reason for this.

You can manually start it by accessing its associated service and then manually starting the service. Verify thereafter that the service is running after system startup:

Also, Windows Auto Updating service is not running for some reason.

My final statement in this thread is since it appears your router is blocking UDP flood attacks adequately, I won't be concerned about the activity.
