Hey it worked!!!

My only concern would be any other virus that uses this SVKP file?

Thanks for your help, sure glad soe of you know whats up so we can continue to enjoy playing Renegade!!!!

There has been a very isolated report to Symantic of a virus that used SVKP.sys. For all we know it is the very incident that caused them to put SVKP.sys on their blacklist. The strange thing is it's not often that anti-v companies add a *file name* to their blacklist, usually the fingerprint specific virii and detect them that way.

So, to answer your question, will blocking SVKP.sys stop any viruses that may use SVKP? Yes.

But also consider, that SVKP itself is not a "hacker tool", or a virus, or a trojan. It is the kernel mode driver part of the SVK Protection software, so basically, just because you have an SVKP.sys, doesn't mean you have a virus.

Think of it this way. Your car has blinking red lights to alert you of problems. So, does making sure there are no blinking red lights mean that your car is fine? Yes, but also just becauser there is a blinking light, doesn't mean it's something bad (alarm system?). So instead of making sure there are no blinking lights in your car, you consciously ignore the alarm system blinking light, because you know it's harmless. Same for SVKP.sys. If there was a real virus that used SVKP.sys, there would surely be other indications of it via either a direct fingerprint id by your antivirus, or your firewall, etc.
