My AVG will sometimes find hidden application both idle and hidden during rootkit scans. I've heard this can often be a false positive since other software (TDSSkiller, Malwarevytes rootkit) comes back clean. Can anyone help we with this problem?

Hi David,

GMER result seems to be clean so it is most likely false detection.

Thanks

David, In order to analyze your issue the AVG experts will probably need you to provide them with GMER (http://kb.avg.com/articles/en_US/How_to/GMER-Scan-Result/) and AVG scan result export (http://kb.avg.com/articles/en_US/How_to/AVG-scan-result-export/).
