I’ve had about a dozen calls this week involving some nasty rootkits (TDSSERVE, TDSsycte, WinIK.sys). GMER Anti-Rootkit has quickly and effectively deleted or disabled any rootkit that it finds (usually in under 5 minutes). GMER AntiRootkit is FREE btw! Download it today and run a scan if you have been recently infected. Anything that comes up red is almost always a nasty rootkit.

I used this to get rid of some rootkits a while back and it works really well… Now it sits in with the rest of my removal tools
Yup, it’s on my sticks and cd’s. It’s soooo fast…lov it.
so do i only have to worry about a file if it’s in red?
yeah, anything in red unless it’s blatantly malware like the screen shot above (virusheat)
Ok… I still don’t get what to delete when i scanned with GMER. Can someone help me identify the bad rootkits? So i can delete it if I have it.
@asianboy – You can send me a log or a screen shot (hit print screen on your keyboard and paste it into a document and then email that to askus@remove-malware.com).
Hi,
Yeah, GMER is a fantastic anti rootkit. Avast has also purchased it, and released a beta version of their Anti rootkit, which uses the GMER engine.
@Emperor – wow! Great move on Avast’s part. I hope they keep it the same (or make it better).
delete and disable is unable.. how can i delete this rootkit
I have GMER and used it to get rid of a couple of Rootkits, but I still have one nagging around that I can’t seem to get rid of. Help someone please.
