Anti-spyware Battles Rootkits with Rootkit Tactics
Anti-spyware software company Aluria are leading the way ahead in Anti-Spyware prevention by adding a technology that will operate at the Windows “kernel,” or core processing center. The new kernel-mode features are a response to new, sophisticated spyware.Aluria have developed a news system called ADS ( Active Defence Shield ) which by using kernel mode techniques stop spyware from getting into parts of the computer that are now becoming a serious problem.
“ADS installs a kernel driver that hooks into a computer’s system driver, which controls the processes executing on that machine. Since any computer action ultimately involves a response by the system driver, the Aluria software can detect any suspicious activity and can stop spyware before it is written to the computer’s file system.” …..source
The one problem with using technology like this is that other scanning software like Anti-Virus or Anti-Spyware software may flag it as suspicious behaviour and cause serious problems to users in the future.
Keep Safe
