When I started my computer I received a warning that an untrusted driver was detected. What should I do?
GuardedID® uses the Windows driver signatures to be certain that your kernel is intact. If this message is reporting a valid Windows driver like “i8042prt.sys”, then a disk error or software error (not connected in any way to GuardedID) has damaged the Windows catalogs. See http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc734083.aspx. If the driver is not a Microsoft driver, it is either an old, unsigned driver (contact the device vendor for a current, signed, driver), or a rogue and should be removed before using the computer for sensitive operations.
