Rootkit

[Vast41]

I am looking for a good rootkit removal program, i just ran Rootkit Analyzer and found some kernels hooked that should perhaps not be, how can i remove them please?

Not all kernel hooks are bad! Do you know enough about your OS to know what is good and what is bad? If not, you can break your OS!

I probably don't know my OS that good, how bout this, is there any program that can help me with that? I am running spysweeper in safemode, doesen't spysweeper find bad rootkits?

No it is a long complex learning process. You can't learn it overnight and you cannot learn it from a program.

Spy Sweeper finds some rookits but not all. And just like many other tools, it does not always distinguish good from bad. In additon, like other tools, it may or may not be able to remove them.

Do you have a paid version of Spy Sweeper?


Other useful tools (again not for a novice):

AVG Anti-Rootkit

F-Secure BlackLight

Yea i paid for Spysweeper, i am not a novice, but i am always up for learning...most of the rootkits are in my AV program which is fine, but there are some i can't ID...thanks for you help Chas

Did you try running the two tools I posted to see what they find? Attach logs from them.
