File purpose and description:

You may receive the following message: C:\doc\Msdirect.sys - Hacktool Rootkit If you have this file, you have what is known as a rootkit driver virus. This can be very difficult to remove, and is also known as the name hacktool.robotkit. Make sure you do not have a program named lockx.exe or setup32.exe running at startup time, as these are also known viruses and need to be cleaned up immediately. (See the details below for the actual location of this file.)

Actual file or task name:
msdirectx.sys

File type:
This is a driver or configuration file type.

File or folder location:
This file will be located on your hard drive at C:\doc\Msdirect.sys

General information:
Be aware that many tasks will be similiar names to existing tasks or processes. You can always view the running tasks on your computer by pressing ctrl-alt-del to view the windows "task manager", and then view the "processes" tab. This will show you all tasks running or currently active on your PC. Although this shows you all running tasks, it does not show dll file thats are loaded, as they get loaded as part of other processes. Many spyware writers attempt to hide their files on your computer, for example, msdirectx.sys may be intentionally misspelled to look like a similiar task, or spyware may be named very similiar to a Windows system task. The reason they do this is so you cannot easily recognize the name in your tasklist as I have mentioned above. Make sure always check the location of the file if you are concerned. You can always find the location of msdirectx.sys on your computer by using your Windows search options, but I will also try to list the file location of every file described on this website, so you can verify the correct location. You can view the entire tasklist directory with the link below.
