Sophos Anti Rootkit

Friday, August 21, 2009 7:20 | Filed in Scams & Spams

This is a public service announcement. Sophos have updated their free rootkit detection and removal tool. If you have already got it, update it. If you’ve not already got it, download it.

It’s particularly important to have protection against (or at least a way of scanning for) rootkits because of their stealth:

Rootkits can lie hidden on computers and remain undetected by anti-virus software. Although new rootkits can be prevented from infecting the system, if you had any rootkits before you installed your anti-virus, they may never be revealed.Sophos Anti-Rootkit

So take a moment to download, install, and ensure that your PC is not infected with rootkits. And a big thank you to those nice people at Sophos.

Oh, and while you’re on, why not check whether you are part of the koobface botnet. If you are, then for goodness sake sort your antivirus/ security precautions out…
