Will Eset add detection for Sony's "rootkit"?

Good Day,

I know that, but Sony´s rootkit it isn´t so difficult to find right ?

 

Didn't Ronjor already answered the question?

 

I hate to have to say this but it is Symantec and Computer Associates that I now have to respect more than Kaspersky (KIS 2006 beta I use) and other AV companies including Eset. Symantec has made a removal tool as has CA. Kaspersky is still discussing the matter like Eset. I suppose smaller AV companies are afraid of Sony. Symantec is so huge they don't fear Sony. Kaspersky does detect and remove the first backdoor that utilizes the Sony rootkit but has not classified XCP, from First 4 Internet Ltd., as a security risk that should be detected and removed. Never thought I'd see the day when I actually had to say that Symantec (and CA) have been the most responsible AV vendors of all in their response to this threat. (Of course, I have ProcessGuard so I am protected but for all those who need protection most AV vendors have failed their customers miserably).

 

Hi Mele20,

I agree with you.
Let´s wait to see what will happen.
Kaspersky will include that rootkit as a riskware.
