Hi Harry,
I've been checking and talking with colleagues. The consensus is that GMER didn't run to completion. That's why the
Save Button wasn't available. When the scan finishes you should get a pop up box saying
"The scan finished successfully." with an
OK button to click.
I spent the day yesterday running GMER on my machine. The screenshot you posted in post#73 shows that GMER was still doing the initial
Quick scan and that it was processing the
C:\Windows\system32\ks.sys file. That's why the
Save button wasn't available.
Gmer can take hours and hours to run to completion even when it runs properly. And on some systems it just won't run properly....don't know why.
I just wanted to look for rootkits with a different tool. But since we know TDSSKiller will run let's run it again. If it doesn't show anything, and I don't think it will, you should be good to go.
