    I recently encountered problems with an application that contains Themida when I used Process Explorer. When I encountered this problem I proceeded to delete the program and figured I was hunkey dorey. What I discovered was that Process Monitor by design places hooks in the kernel and that my deleting the file would not clear these entries. In researching further I found GMER and identified the fragments and used "Restore SSDT" to get rid of them. I though have one additional entry that I cannot get rid of. The type is ?, the name is C:\Windows\System32\Drivers\PROCMON20.SYS, and the value is "The system cannot find the file specified !. Does anyone know how I can eliminate this? In GMER I do not have the option to "Restore SSDT".

    Welcome to MajorGeeks, mcertini :)

    See if Autoruns detects it. Should be highlighted in yellow if "File not Found" as you describe.

    thisisu,

    Thank you for your reply. The last entry disappeared. Apparently I did not reboot my computer.
