tld4 protection

This may have been asked before but I searched Wilders and could not find an answer.

The question is: Is there any protection from tld4 backdoor?

I'm not talking about disinfection or detection after the fact but protection before infection.

I have not found any anti-malware that can stop tld4 from infecting a computer but a lot of security ware that can disinfect after tld4 infection.

I finally found one. a Polish AV tester posted a Youtube video testing Sandboxie against rootkits. Sandboxie passed his test with flying colors. Tld4 Backdoor was one of the many rootkits tested. Thought people would like to know.

Hello,

The TDL4 bootkit is known variously as Alureon, Olmarik, Olmasco, etc., so perhaps your anti-malware software detects it using a different name.

Here are some articles on it:

• ESET VirusRadar Threat Encyclopedia - Descriptions - Win32/Olmasco.R
• TDL4 Rebooted
• TDL4 reloaded: Purple Haze all in my brain
• Olmasco bootkit: next circle of TDL4 evolution (or not?)
• The Evolution of TDL: Conquering x64 [PDF]
