Removing rootkits without compromising system integrity is particularly challenging and needs to be done with care.
Our free software, Sophos Anti-Rootkit, finds and removes any rootkit that is hidden on your computer.
What is a rootkit?
The term rootkit is used to define a Trojan (or technology) used to hide the presence of a malicious object (process, file, registry key, network port) from the computer user or administrator.
Here are some key features of Sophos Anti Rootkit:
# Scans running processes, windows registry and local hard drives for rootkits.
# Identifies known rootkits and selects, by default, files for removal which will remove the rootkit component of the malware without compromising OS integrity.
# Allows users to remove unidentified hidden files, but does not allow removal of essential system files when hidden by an identified rootkit.
# Once the user has run a scan, the screen prompts the user through the necessary steps until every rootkit has been removed.
# Users can switch between the GUI and command-line functionality.
# Both context sensitive and command-line help are available.

Microsoft's most recent security update for Internet Explorer introduces a serious security flaw on some Windows systems.

Security companies were gearing up for war last week, after Microsoft released its August Patch Tuesday security fixes. And for all the hyperbole around one of those patches, MS06-040, it's a wonder we aren't all hunkered down, Terminator style, warming ourselves by the glowing embers of now-useless computers and trying to figure out how to keep the cyborgs at bay.
