    EUREKA! Another update. Kool

    I recall using Radix months ago to close the handles on a hidden rootkit i deliberately planted that Ice Sword couldn't deal with & RKUnhooker needed a reboot.

    Radix killed it WITHOUT A REBOOT!

    I tested it and been using it ever since. LoL

    Thanks PROROOTECT

    Greets again fcukdat

    I'll look into my archive or zoo collection as you like to call it, and find it again (i hope), since it's been awhile, but this bug was hidden and "Locked" tight but Radix uncovered it and i used that unique feature to kill the handles and the bot was nothing but a helpless loner with no clothes (Cloak) anymore, and the surprise for me was it didn't take a reboot to clear it. It was toast :D

    I'll get back to you by post reply or PM as soon as i find it because i have to run it again to make sure i got the right one. :cool:

    Yes, I saw the potential of this tool long time ago where others still laughed.

    In Vista 64 you don´t need necessarily antirks,
    most are prevented by patchguard. Try Aswar.

    Great, that you keep all informed.

    But still buggy, it needs some more time to mature, especially because of freezes and hangs if malware is installed on a system.

    Ol' EP_X0FF never liked this one. But then, he never liked any other ARK tool but his own. ;)

    The author of Radix must invest much more time without a stable beta it is nonsense to test it against active infections.

    WELL SAID AND TRUE!

    Definitely applies as much in life as computers. Trouble is money rulez our daily living but computer knowledge is a whole different entity, which also can lead right back to what else, money= PAPER, or these days numbers which can be dispense as tradeable paper.

    A phrase I used along time ago now for something I did on virtual infrastructures borrowed from 1984, George Orwell's book about Big Brother - War is Peace; Freedom is Slavery; Ignorance is Strength.

    But anyway SJ don't you have an ark table, what does it look like now?

    Sorry, I don´t understand what you are trying to tell me with this phrase.

    Yes but many controlers don´t see this.:D

    Howdy PROROOTECT, I was reading a thread over at Sys Internals Forum where you had posted in the "Z0mBiE rootkit" thread.

    Have or can you test Radix on that rootkit?

    i downloaded latest v1.0.0.9, and it crashed out half way through at "patched modules" test. it said "program fault occurred. do you want to continue execution. yes (not recommended) or no". i clicked "no" and the program closed.

    that was it for me.......
