If you have not just installed new hardware or new software you know darn
well that it is a bogus message. Go there at your own risk!

I searched for a while with google. Lots of places around the world
report having entdrv51.sys on their systems but I wasn't able to find
any web page declaring this to be net scum or any web page declaring
which manufacturer this might be a driver for.

BUT during the google search for emtdrv51 it found:
http://forums.thetechguys.com/archive/index.php/t-10681...
and when I opened that page the alarms went of showing that
this web page was dumping the Bloodhound.Exploit.6 onto my machine.

So watch out out there, there are net scum.

Not meaning to sound rude, but I typed "EntDrv51" in www.google.com and came
up with 45 web sites mentioning "EntDrv51" .
Try to do a little research on your own before clogging the "Group"

Yeah and not one of them clearly describes what EntDrv51 is so it would be
natural for the OP to post here to find a solution because that is what this
group is for.

It doesn't really matter as the person has not come back in 12 hours to give

There are at least 13 pages that describe that file on google, no need for
the OP to even post here.

Erm, look guys, I wasn't trying to upset people! Haven't had chance to get on
my PC for a while.

The problem seems to have occured when my other half pressed buttons on my
firewall (ZoneAlarm) and when i next booted my PC this message was coming up.
All I really wanted to know is if EntDrv51 was an actual piece of hardware
for my PC that may have become unstable and, obviously, if it DID need
re-installing. Also, my PC is running at less than half the speed it was a
week ago, which further made me think the hardware was needed.

Anyway, I have not installed it but if anyone knows how I can stop the
installation message at startup that would be cool.

Peace to all!

Balony.

Try uninstalling and then reinstalling Zone Alarm. Do not choose the option
to save your settings(a clean install) when promoted.

Hi Balony

It seems to be part of McAfee Managed VirusScan -- did you ever have
that on your computer? I found this at:
http://betavscan.mcafeeasap.com/beta/docs/readme/Readme...

7. Uninstall of Managed VirusScan following a clean install without
rebooting the system leaves behind the following two files. -
EntAPI.dll file in the %WinDir%\System32 folder - EntDrv##.sys file in
the %WinDir%\System32\drivers folder. Subsequent installation using the
VSsetup program fails unless these files are manually removed. [215268]

Thanks Nightowl but that didn't work either. I have just done a search for
entdrv and deleted the driver from system32. Hope it works but will let you
know tomorrow.

Ciao 4 now

Um, sorry, what didn't work? The quote I posted just explained that two
files could be left behind after uninstalling McAfee --

EntAPI.dll in the %WinDir%\System32 folder
EntDrv##.sys file in the %WinDir%\System32\drivers folder

You need to delete both.
