Coming back to my issue. I wasn't feeling comfortable with tdsskiller running only in safe mode. See, if at any moment I think my PC is infected, I have few tools that I run in order to clean it, and one of them is tdsskiller. In a scenario where a computer is infected, I wouldn't like to restart it in order to get into safe mode to run the tool. So, it was bugging me all these days and I couldn't find a solution on the internet. So, I went on and uninstalled Kaspersky free antivirus and immediately I was able to run tdsskiler in normal mode. After all and in my case, it seems that the conflict was actually caused by Kaspersky software. I thought to let you know, so that it my be fixed in future updates. Thank you.

OK, thanks a lot for your help.

Well, the software is meant to run also in normal mode. If it doesn't and given the error message in event viewer, there must be a conflict with something. That's a malfunction that I feel it should be looked into.

Thanks for your reply. Is there a way to fix the problem of tdsskiller not running in normal mode?

In safe mode tdsskiler runs and scans normally.

The event viewer shows an application error: Faulting application name: tdsskiller.exe, version: 3.1.0.28, time stamp: 0x566b123a Faulting module name: unknown, version: 0.0.0.0, time stamp: 0x00000000 Exception code: 0xc0000409 Fault offset: 0xdeaa1140 Faulting process ID: 0x1f98 Faulting application start time: 0x01d52819fa7c9858 Faulting application path: C:\Users\Laptop\Desktop\tdsskiller.exe Faulting module path: unknown Report ID: 38433ba8-0d26-4fce-a45e-194027638381 Faulting package full name: Faulting package-relative application ID: ....and a windows error report: Fault bucket 1424584605287185598, type 5 Event Name: BEX Response: Not available Cab Id: 0 Problem signature: P1: tdsskiller.exe P2: 3.1.0.28 P3: 566b123a P4: StackHash_be94 P5: 0.0.0.0 P6: 00000000 P7: PCH_2B_FROM_ntdll+0x00071F1C P8: c0000409 P9: 0000000a P10: The screen doesn't show, actually nothing happens. I got tdsskiller from bleepingcomputer.

Kaspersky Free 19.0.0.1088(f) Windows 10 Home 1903 (buid 18362.175) Only Kaspersky antivirus No errors, just a "rootkit scan canceled" earlier today. I just want to make sure it will run when I may need it. Thank you.

Hi, my issue is that tdsskiller will not start. My computer is not infected. I have scanned it with various tools, including Kasperky free antivirus. I have moved tdsskiller to desktop, tried to run as administrtator, tried renaming it to random.com and I have the latest version. My PC antivirus is Kasperky free (could this be the reason?). Please advice.
