Question on ProcessGuard

[hardhead]

Will the install ProcessGuard detect a rootkit if present or just prevent one from installing?

Hi hardyhar, ProcessGuard will stop rootkits from installing and may aid in identifying some rootkits but if you have a rootkit basically it owns your machine - Cleaning a stealthed rootkit is very difficult if not impossible to even expert users. Almost certainly quicker to reformat and start again.
They are not good news. :(

Thanks Pilli for your reply ;)
I knew that they were diffucult to remove and formatting was the best thing to do if you got one of these nasties. They are definitly bad news. :o
