ThreatDown is now the name of the Malwarebytes line of business products. References to Malwarebytes below reflect the amazing technology used to first identify the threat.
Short bio
RiskWare.WinRing0.VulnDriver is Malwarebytes detection name for a set of legitimate signed drivers by WinRing0 that put your system at risk because they are vulnerable to attacks.
Type of infection
RiskWare.VulnDriver is Malwarebytes’ generic detection name for legitimate but vulnerable Windows drivers that may expose systems to elevated security risk.
Detections in this family may appear as RiskWare.<DriverName>.VulnDriver, where <DriverName> identifies the vulnerable driver, vendor, or software component associated with the detection.
These drivers are not necessarily malicious by themselves, however, because they operate at kernel level, threat actors may abuse them to gain privileged access, interfere with security tools, or support further compromise.
Protection
Malwarebytes products protect users by flagging the presence of RiskWare.WinRing0.VulnDriver and make them aware of the risks.
