Does NOD 32 v2.7 detect the TDSS rootkit?

I have held off on installing the recent windows update KB977165 because some who install it experience a BSOD when they reboot. The problem is apparently linked to having the Win32.TDSS rootkit on the computer. I ran an in-depth scan on my machine and nothing was found, but this rootkit is supposed to be really hard to detect. Does NOD 32 2.7 detect it? I would like to make sure my machine is clean before I install the windows update, because once you get the BSOD, you have to go to a lot of trouble to fix it.

I did install and run the most recent Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool along with the other critical updates besides the one that causes the problem and there was no indication that anything bad turned up.

 

Deafening silence suggests answer is "not".

Or "no one knows". Too bad--I was hoping for something more definite.

Meanwhile, back at the ranch, MS has confirmed that the BSODs are caused by a rootkit, which they call by the name Alureon, and in this new blog post, they say that they are working on a detection/removal tool for it:

I guess I will not be installing KB977165 until the tool is available.

 

I've never found Nod to detect any rootkit. Try both Malwarebytes & Prevx.

 

not any? Here is where it detects some

"I've never found....".

 

The only one I have seen ESET can detect is the Olmarik. But unable to remove or even point the malicious files.

 

What did you see (rootkit) that Eset couldn't detect?
