Hi
Sorry Im not sure where to post this as Im not sure what it relates to.
I have drivers (+whatever else was bundled with them) installed for the NI USB-RS232 cable.
Since hten I have done a quick rootkit scan using Spybot S&D which has notified me that the file C:\Windows\System32\niorbmap may be a possible rootkit infection. When I browse to the location the file is not visible - not a good sign.
I assumed from the name and one mention-in-passing here on the forums that it is an NI related file.
Could someone confirm this and if so explain why it may be detected as a rootkit?
Thanks

Hi Wolf99,
This file looks to part of our driver set as you mentioned. Taking a look at my own pc I also have the file, it is located at C:\Windows\SysWOW64 (the 64 bit equivilent of system32) on my machine. Opening the file with notepad it has many references to various NI software/drivers. This file shouldn't be malicous and is likely a false-positive by Spybot S&D.
Best Regards,
Andrew

Thanks adlib.
What made me more concerned with it was that I could not actually find it int he system32 folder that SS&D listed but I see that it is actually in my SysWOW64 instead so all good 🙂 .
