A Rootkit Comeback?

[nsm0220]

looks like gdata found a rootkit that they have been tracking down for a few months now https://blog.gdatasoftware.com/blog/article/uroburos-rootkit-belgian-foreign-ministry-stricken.html

And which rootkit detection software are you using?

For example below:
> Malwarebtyes Anti-rookit
> PCHunter http://malwaretips.com/threads/pchunter-xuetr-anti-rootkit-new-version.13571/

Only targets major enterprises, national institutions, news services and similar targets.
Home users have no worries at this time.

Thanks.

Uroburos has been around for quite a while now, one of the more sophisticated "state rootkits". Expect more to come, as cyber warfare slowly overtakes "standard", physical warfare.

But some of us are paranoid -checks behind door-, no single AV can detect all strains of malware -checks under bed- we can never be too sure. -Runs 10 on-demand scanners- Are you sure home users aren't affected? -5 of my Antivirus software detected a file on my PC- Am I infected!!?
