Suspicious drivers, is it a rootkit?

No, you don't have a rootkit. This is how a freshly installed Win 7 SP1 looks like for me:

enter image description here

  • dump_dumpfve.sys is part of Win 7
  • dump_iaStor.sys is part of a driver I installed. Intel Storage something something

In your case additionally:

  • dump_msahci.sys has to do with AHCI driver.
  • dump_dumpata.sys has to do with PATA, otherwise known as Parallel ATA, I'd hazard a guess that the dum before pata in dumpata stands for dummy, but I dunno.

In short, no, you don't have a rootkit.


C:\Windows\System32\Drivers\dump_dumpata.sys
C:\Windows\System32\Drivers\dump_dumpfve.sys
C:\Windows\System32\Drivers\dump_msahci.sys
