    Security Audit Failure (Event Viewer) tcpip.sys hash not valid/cor

    Code integrity determined that the image hash of a file is not valid. The
    file could be corrupt due to unauthorized modification or the invalid hash
    could indicate a potential disk device error.

    OS Vista Ultimate SP1

    I have no idea why this failure is showing up, is there a specific service
    needed for the audit success? Other than seeing the error(s) occur via Event
    Viewer, I have not had any issues with connectivity, and other security
    audits complete fine without failure. Anyone have any ideas what might fix
    this? I do not believe I modified the tcpip.sys in any way

    See if the information in this article, "How to Repair and Verify the
    Integrity of Vista System Files with System File Checker"

    <http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/66978-system-files.html>

    Good luck

    Interesting. My Vista 64 SP1 crashed two days ago for the first time in
    months, and reported the same error with the same file. It just happened
    once so I didn't investigate further. Seems to have been working fine since
    then and no more error message in the event log. I wondered if was
    antivirus-related? I have Trend Micro plus Windows Defender. Anything sound
    familiar?

    yeah so the results of the manual check.

    Microsoft Windows [Version 6.0.6001]
    Copyright (c) 2006 Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.
    C:\Windows\system32>sfc /verifyfile=C:\Windows\System32\drivers\tcpip.sys
    Windows Resource Protection did not find any integrity violations.

    error is still showing up in event viewer with no adverse effects, wondering
    where i can go from here in order to sort it out? maybe i need to have a
    specific service enabled in order for it to process correctly, any more ideas?

    Try replacing the module from the installation media with a good copy after
    backing up this allegedly corrupted driver. You should not have to do a
    complete repair reinstallation (I don't believe so).
