10 AntiRootkits Tested to Detect and Remove a Hidden Rootkit

Raymond over at Raymond.cc has done a new test, and this time he is testing AntiRootkits!

And it seems that Sophos AntiRootkit solution was the only one that removed the file succsessfully without the need of renaming the file etc...

The whole test Here

 

why he is be using outdated tools.
better to use tools like radix, this tool is up to date.

 

Tizer Rootkit Razor 2.0 is also good there.

 

Probably the only one that officially supports my Windows 7 64-bit as well.

 

The only actual AntiRootkit software is GMER; RootkitRevealer is outdated, the other removal tools. I also quote Radix, and I add RootRepeal.

 

Antimalware.ru have also recently done a more in-depth test with more rootkits, with results:
1. GMER
2. VBA Antirootkit
3. RootRepeal

Thanks, SweX! It's always a good idea to keep this topic in front of members, in my opinion.

I'll quickly point out for anyone running F-Secure Blacklight that the Help file mentions...

Does anyone here have an opinion or experience with Radix?
Edit in: The Radix support forum has a grand total of 3 posts for 2010. All the rest are from 2009. Doesn't look encouraging.

 

This antirootkit tools aren't intended for general users. How many of them can distinguish between FP and legit ones?

 

BTW UnhackMe is also continuously updating...They have also launched a new CD (Warrior CD) for rootkit detection..

 

Thank you
