Hi, Ive used Eset Security for some time now but in the last 5 days I ahve had to reformat my machine as I have had 2 rootkits installed on my machine. Now the first I can forgive but the second one was installed AFTER I scanned the file and Eset said there was no probs with it Shouldn't ESET have picked this up? Im wondering whether I should change products cos Im gonna go nuts reformatting.. Until now I really trusted ESET Any advice appreciated gmer said it was srsosa but was unable to clear it....any ideas on the best product to get to protect my machine?
i had a computer infected with srosa few weeks ago (nod32 installed, updated and running), its a variant of beagle worm that you've got. heres what you do if you don't want to format: - boot from Windows XP cd, enter repair console browse, search and delete files: hldrrr.exe, srosa.sys, wintems.exe and folder c:\windows\system\drivers\down and C:\Documents and Settings\Admin\Application Data\m\flec006.exe good luck
Hi, yeah Im using VISTA and was unable to delete these files, they just kept coming back. Very disappointed in NOD32 I have now installed PANDA in the hope that this product works better
Nothing wrong with some safe surfing as well as using an av.. perhaps you need to rethink where you're dling files from.
I agree that I also need to watchout.... however I have NEVER been hit before with any other product. Eset has been good for 8 months AND when I specifically scan a file prior to opening it and eset says its all good then I expect it to be all good..perhaps Im being unfair but....I no longer trust it FYI.. I kept the zip file that caused the problem and tested it with a couple of other products.... PANDA and even AVG free versions instantly recognised the file as being a problem ...not ESET!
Hello, If you still have copies of the malicious files in question, please submit them to samples@eset.sk in a password-protected archive with a link to this message so that ESET's virus lab can examine them. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky
