This one instigates a reboot and hotkeys won't work with it active.
Had to boot from a live cd and delete the exe or you can put RogueKiller in the Startup folder before executing the sample which will kill the trojan's process at restart.

I mean... I know there are registry keys for drivers and startup items in the registry as well as the startup folder and the possibility to load services, of course. But your example is a perfect one: how do I make sure that a certain tool loads before another tool or driver? I have had some instances where I needed (well, wanted) to switch load order of drivers to troubleshoot a problem. I had found no information on this back then, and even up to now, only one tool that allows you to simply change the order. I forgot the name, sorry... but I do remember you could register at their site for platinum and/or gold licences for their software. My point being: it is possible and it is being done. Why couldn't I find anything useful about it? Or documentation to point me in the right direction? On top of that, I am no skilled programmer at all so delving into the MS windows developper documentation to write my own tool won't do me any good probably, I fear, since the things you guys do here just overshoot human abilities IMO. Any of you guys know what to do/where to look so I can switch load order of drivers/tools/services if necessary for troubleshooting a system when necessary?
