Malware Toolbox

Does anyone have any additions/suggestions/recommendations for what to have in a Malware Toolbox?

Thanks in Advance.

 

One program that you might want to consider for it's tools is Iobit Security 360.

 

I have recently tried the AVIRA Rescue CD (Report Only) on all of my Home PC's. I always like to have "another opinion" that my PC is "most likely" clean.

I have heard that with Windows not running, it is very easy for a AntiMalware scanner to spot and remove a rootkit. Has anyone had any experience with removing a rootkit with an AntiMalware Bootable CD?

Thanks in Advance.

 

Copied from my document with made-up "Security Suites" which I've written myself - this is a document that I update almost everyday, depending on what I test and if I see something that I wanna change. ;


"On-Demand
------------

Hitman Pro
Panda Anti-Rootkit
Anti-Malware Toolkit
(OSAM Startup Check)
(Avira AntiVir Personal (disable the Guard through Custom Installation))"



I'd install and run these in safe-mode with networking as far as I can. I say "as far as I can" cause I've not yet needed to use them to clean up an infected PC, even if I would like to test that sometime.


Hope this helps, and don't hesitate to ask more questions!

 

- Dr.Web CUREIT
- SAS
- MBAM
- Avast Antirootkit
- GMER
- UBCD4WIN (use if everything else fails)
- HiJack This

thats what i use.

 

Check out "Anti-Malware Toolkit" - I ran into it by a coincidence and it includes lots and lots of tools for download plus optional def-downloads as well (probably for cases where malware prevents those built-in). Things like AntiVir, MBAM, HiJackThis and SAS are available there.

 

i think i saw that in a thread here and it looked interesting but i havent tried it out yet.

 

You can find a direct archive-file here. Open and Run.

 

I'd recommend process explorer and NOD32 system scanner
to see whats going on.

Not with a Boot CD, but i've eliminated countless nasties on peoples PC's by removing the hard drive and linking it up to my PC, and scanning/searching from there with tools etc. Hasn't failed yet.

Sometimes i'll also use my portable tools on a USB stick too.

I keep meaning to make a Boot CD !

 

Antivirus Boot CD Comments:

I have 4 PC's. The AVIRA Rescue CD boots, updates and scans on all of them.

I have ran Kaspersky's Rescue CD on 2 of my PC's so far. It also updates OK. The scan process seems to be a bit slow, but that is not necessary a bad thing. I will try it on the other two PC's when I get a chance.

I have tried to run BitDefender's Rescue CD on 2 of my PC's. On one PC it hangs during the boot (Hardware Issue). On the other PC it boots OK. However, It looks like the C: drive is actually part of the Boot CD's Linux OS and the scanner gets stuck (loop).

I can make no comments, as to Malware Detection/Removal, as my PC's are clean. I just want to get an idea of hardware compatibility of the boot CD in case I want to help someone else with cleaning up their PC.

 

Anyone have any new additions/suggestions?

Thanks in Advance.

 

Not sure if you are just looking for portable or not but here are a few tools-

Here are the current contents of my computer repair kit.

I appended the suffix 'Setup' to installation programs. The programs without 'Setup' appended are not necessarily truly portable, but they run without installation.

Few Vista-specific or Win 7-specific programs are included here; browse the tools at http://www.technibble.com/ to supplement this list with Vista-specific or Win 7-specific programs.
