Hey guys and gals, My computer has been acting funky the last couple of days. It's been hard getting on the internet. I have avast antivirus and sygate firewall. I've been getting (more than once) this message from sygate. It says that the NT Kernel has changed. The executable has changed since the last time you used: C:\WINDOWS\system32\ntoskrnl.exe File Version : 5.1.2600.3051 File Description : NT Kernel & System File Path : C:\WINDOWS\system32\ntoskrnl.exe Process ID : 0x4 (Heximal) 4 (Decimal) Connection origin : local initiated Protocol : Raw Ethernet Local Address : 0.0.0.0 Local Port : 0 Remote Name : Remote Address : 0.0.0.0 Remote Port : 0 Ethernet packet details: Ethernet II (Packet Length: 56) Destination: 00-01-5c-22-b1-02 Source: 00-12-c9-c5-89-91 Type: ARP (0x0806) Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) Hardware type: Ethernet (0x0001) Protocol type: IP (0x0800) Hardware size: 6 Protocol size: 4 Opcode: Response Sender hardware address: 00-12-c9-c5-89-91 Sender IP address: 75.71.247.149 Target hardware address: 00-01-5c-22-b1-02 Target IP address: 75.71.240.1 Binary dump of the packet: 0000: 00 01 5C 22 B1 02 00 12 : C9 C5 89 91 08 06 00 01 | ..\"............ 0010: 08 00 06 04 00 02 00 12 : C9 C5 89 91 4B 47 F7 95 | ............KG.. 0020: 00 01 5C 22 B1 02 4B 47 : F0 01 BD 82 47 52 50 10 | ..\"..KG....GRP. 0030: 44 70 E6 F2 00 00 01 6C : | Dp.....l I did do a Window's update recently, but I've never gotten a kernel message before (at least not when I wasn't expecting it). I ran a boot time scan with avast, scanned with SE Personal and Spybot S&D in safe mode. Found a few things, but as I pulled up firefox, I got the message again. Any thoughts? Thanks in advance.
