slowday444 Posted January 25, 2006 Share Posted January 25, 2006 I downloaded Spysweeper (at Newegg $21.75 = good deal!) last night and did the complete scan before I left for work this morning. It found four files hidden from Windows which it suggested could be rootkits. Three were in GhostSurf (I use the proxy feature to post on a college sports forum, never use it's anti spyware or anti virus features) and one was in Firetune. They are quarantined now. Would there be any legitimate reason either of these programs would have files hidden from Windows? Thank You! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkey Proof Posted January 25, 2006 Share Posted January 25, 2006 you can try this new beta rootkit scanner from F-secure called "F-Secure BlackLight Beta." free downloads are good untill the end of March. http://www.f-secure.com/blacklight/try.shtml Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slowday444 Posted January 25, 2006 Author Share Posted January 25, 2006 Use it all the time. It has never found anything! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eldmannen Posted January 25, 2006 Share Posted January 25, 2006 Does not sound like a good deal if you ask me. You could probably find a software which does not cost anything, but does the samething, possibly even doing it better. Or you could have donated it to Mr.G who makes CCleaner.

ccleaner professional user Posted February 9, 2006 Share Posted February 9, 2006 I looked up the Lavasoft rootkit revealer, it is apparently only for the Sony DRM which hopefuly only exists in H*ll now... Woops! So which root kit revealer upperer reveals the most or all of the rootkits? and is free hopefully. Does spysweeper get em all? if so, no need to change. As for Sony DRM, why the hell haven't you grapped up a copy of a DRM disk, f*cked up your pc with it, then claimed your millions of $$$ in "POTENTIAL" damages that Sony did to your "business". Why do you let them get away with giving you only 11 songs to download off their site, along with a woops, sorry. Cheap bastards! They sue people for SHARING songs under the lie that sharing is stealing and therefore piracy? I never heard such a ridiculous statement in my life. Ok, so if they sue for $250,000 per song for "potential" lost revenue, why can't we get them back? Sony? Are you listening? We have not forgot! Down with Sony $$$ theives!!! Amen?
