What-A-Coincidence

Panda Anti-Rootkit digs deeper than any other anti-rootkit tool I've seen, telling you exactly what it found. For safety it won't delete files digitally signed by Microsoft—smart! And it wiped out every one of my test rootkits.
Detects rootkit activity in file system, Registry, processes, drivers, and Alternate Data Streams. Offers very detailed reports. Eliminates known and unknown rootkits.
Basic results list is cramped in a non-resizable window.

Hi WAC what's a rootkit?

What-A-Coincidence

Good question! Answer:

Rootkit

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jump to: navigation, search

A rootkit is a set of software tools intended to conceal running processes, files or system data from the operating system. Rootkits have their origin in relatively benign applications, but in recent years have been used increasingly by malware to help intruders maintain access to systems while avoiding detection. Rootkits exist for a variety of operating systems, such as Linux, Solaris and versions of Microsoft Windows. Rootkits often modify parts of the operating system or install themselves as drivers or kernel modules.

The word "rootkit" came to general public awareness in the 2005 Sony BMG CD copy protection scandal, in which Sony BMG music CDs surreptitiously placed a rootkit on Microsoft Windows PCs when the CD was played on the computer. Sony provided no mention of this on the CD or its packaging, referring only to security rights management measures.

Crap.

It listed 4 unkowns for me (and it won't even give the option of cleaning unkowns ). Great. Just what I need. Anxiety and no way to fix it.

I was able to locate one by hand and delete it, but the other 3 simply won't show up in a listing. I don't know how that's supossed to be happening. I've got all the XP bullcrap-hide-the-important-files-so-we-can't-actually-see-what's-there settings turned off in folder views and it still won't show them. Ugh.

What to do...what to do....

Mark Russinovich wrote a really cool utility called LiveKd. It allows you to run the Kd and Windbg kernal debuggers on a "Live" system.

Among other things, you can dump the contents of the service table and spot patched functions fairly easily by looking for entries that fall outside of the Windows kernal.

FYI folks:

Panda Software is owned and operated by Scientologists. I applied for a position in their Glendale, CA offices, and was given the usual battery of Scientology tests.

If you choose to have your money given to another cult that is up to you. I personally won't do that.
