Event Type: Audit Failure

Anonymous

Hi,

My System is Windows 7 SP1 Home Premium. Recently the Event Viewer has shown the following Audit failure after every fresh startup after the system has been powered off:

Record Number : 145537

Log Type : Security

Event Type : Audit Failure

Time : 28/06/2016 18:57:39

Source : Microsoft-Windows-Security-Auditing

Category : 12290

Event ID : 6281

User Name :

Computer : Chris-PC

Event Data Length : 0

Record Length : 352

Event Description : Code Integrity determined that the page hashes of an image file are not valid. The file could be improperly signed without page hashes or corrupt due to unauthorized modification. The invalid hashes could indicate a potential disk device error. File Name: \Device\HarddiskVolume3\ProgramData\Trusteer\Rapport\store\exts\RapportMS\baseline\RapportIaso.sys

I have been in touch with IBM Trusteer Support but they have been unable to help - their initial suggestion was as follows:

In order to resolve this issue, please follow the steps below:
1. Run → Enter secpol.msc in the search box.
*Please note, that an error message may appear. Disregard it and wait for a few seconds until the "Local Security Policy" window appears. 
2.Open “Local Policies”.
3.Open “Audit Policy”.
4.Enter “Auditor privilege use”
5.Verify both check-boxes are unchecked.
6. Restart your computer.

However Windows 7 Home Premium does not have the the group policies editor 'secpol.msc' so I am unable to carry out their suggestion. Because of this they advised I contact Microsoft.

I have ruled out 'disk error' by running HD Tune which found no errors on the hard drive. IBM appear to have ruled out a problem with my malware protection (Avast 2016 anti-virus and Comodo Firewall) after I had sent the details to them.

The problem has occurred over the last few days (starting Monday 27 June 2016).

Any advice and suggestions would be much appreciated, thank you.

Hi Ratandeep,

Thanks for your reply.

At the moment it is a question of exploring the toolkit. There's a lot to go through and at the moment I don't understand much of it or which parts are relevant for my investigations into the code integrity warning highlighted by the Event Viewer. Perhaps after a few hours reading it will begin to make sense.

Cheers and best regards.

Hi Ratandeep,

Thanks for the link. After a minor problem on the first attempt, I managed to download and install Windows SDK. I left everything ticked so the Microsoft SDKs folder in Program Files is quite large at 1.45gb.

Now I have to find out how to use it - a bit of reading to do I guess.

Regards.
