Average users does not stand a chance with Rootkits
The Authentium Virus Blog posting shows how anti malware programs need to be extremely user friendly for the average user out there. We feel that this is especially true when it comes to Anti Rootkit programs.
There should be a straight forward, non threatening way for users who do not have much computer experience to remove rootkits.
From the Authentium Virus Blog…
“On average we have removed 2 pieces of malware from the machine per day and I suspect that there are at least two different potentially unwanted applications and at least one piece of malware left on the machine. This malware removed includes 2 bots, 1 rootkit, 1 executable that controlled the rootkit and 1 dropper. I suspect that there are still a mass mailer and/or network worm left to be removed. Compliments of a good defense in depth strategy this seems to be contained by the security suite. But it still does not leave the machine in a usable state.”
Keep Safe,
