cumminbk Posted September 3, 2007 Share Posted September 3, 2007 Do you guys use an anti-rootkit program along with other security programs like spybot, adaware and anti-virus/firewall? or do you find that these programs detect/remove/prevent root kits?thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tarun Posted September 4, 2007 Share Posted September 4, 2007 AVG also has an Anti-Rootkit available. Personally SysInternals is great for looking "under the hood". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keirkei Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 This is an old thread, but are these programs still good? & does any one have any new suggestions? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glenn9999 Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 (edited) AVG also has an Anti-Rootkit available. Personally SysInternals is great for looking "under the hood".The AVG anti-rootkit has been folded into their paid anti-virus product, and consequently, any updates to it have been done there..

lordpake Posted November 22, 2009 Share Posted November 22, 2009 GMER is still under development as far as I know, as are Trend's Rootkit Buster and F-Secure's Blacklight. The last two are probably the n00b-friendlier choices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
