So i got a rootkit today...

I think root kits can prevent their own removal uhm

@linuxxx i know. But i'm hoping this one is not that smart as it just installs adware

Let us know what the outcome of the scans are when they finish. :P

Two things I'd recommend. First is TDSSKiller by Kaspersky Lab, it's an excellent anti-rootkit utility. You do need to provide an email so they can send you the download link. The second is to try a bootable antivirus utility. When the malicious code doesn't run, it doesn't have the ability to hide itself very well.

@Dacexi Fair enough haha, hope for the best!

@Arjan i think it's gone now.

@ekyl trying it now. No threats found :)

@Dacexi Good to hear

As I remind, DrWeb Live CD can remove that files

Roguekiller, malware bytes, tdsskiller, adwcleaner.

If on win 7 combofix but it will change other settings.

Hijackthis and gmer to look after the scans and further help can be found on bleepingcomputer forum. Sometimes you just have to restore from backup or reload OS though.

Have you tried tronsctipt?

@Dacexi
It could be too late and it's in deep and successfully hid itself. Safest bet would be to wipe and start over. Hope that isn't the case.

There's also something named like RootkitRevealer in the Sysinternals Suite. https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us...
