-I doubt it. I have literally the best antiviruses I can find (including malwarebytes), and they surely would have detected it-since it would be a crap one. I have detected yesterday a trojan horse, but this one seems to have infected my computer only in the last few days (the last full scan showed nothing-it was exactly a week previous). my problem has been going on for almost two months. added to that that I move in much earlier than other students, and the problem starts even before everyone else moves in, and I have what is by all accounts the best security of anybody in my dorm outside the hardcore computer nerds......
That tcpip and ntoskrnl are the claimed culprits could be wrong. They are Microsoft OS drivers. The real culprit might be a third party driver that is not recognized.
Do you happen to have PC Tools Internet Security installed?

Also, not all Malware is recognized unless they have been registered with the anti virus company or have recognizable (signature) code. Typical Hackers, would know how to omit this. But it is the most complex solution here.
Also, Driver Verifier needs to run a long time and ideally until the computer crashes.
