Title: ntoskrnl.exe Keeps Changing!
Post by: 1two3 on April 03, 2008, 02:29:44 AM

I am scanning with AVG and every scan it shows that ntoskrnl.exe keeps changing. I Googled the file and it seems to be an important start-up file (apparently). AVG is telling me to monitor this file, but my old anti virus(Zone Alarm) didn't find anything wrong. This just an AVG problem or is it serious?
