what is hku?

Question

spysweeper keeps telling me i have trojans in my "hku" drive... wrss profiles or some jazz like that. what is it?

Answer 1

There is no "hku" drive, but perhaps it was referring to the shorthand for "HKEY_USERS", which is a section in the registry.

My guess is that you have a trojan and it was telling you that it loads out of HKEY_USERS, which means that's where the definition is that tells it to start up.
