Trellix Stinger utilizes next-generation scan technology, including rootkit scanning, and scan performance optimizations. It detects and removes threats identified under the "Threat List" option under Advanced menu options in the Stinger application. Stinger now detects and removes GameOver Zeus and CryptoLocker.
To use Trellix Stinger:
Download the latest version of Stinger.
When prompted, choose to save the file to a convenient location on your hard disk, such as your Desktop folder.
When the download is complete, navigate to the folder that contains the downloaded Stinger file, and run it.
The Stinger interface will be displayed.
By default, Stinger scans for running processes, loaded modules, registry, WMI and directory locations known to be used by malware on a machine to keep scan times minimal. If necessary, click the "Customize my scan" link to add additional drives/directories to your scan.
Stinger has the capability to scan targets of Rootkits, which is not enabled by default.
Click the Scan button to begin scanning the specified drives/directories.
By default, Stinger will repair any infected files it finds.
Stinger leverages GTI File Reputation and runs network heuristics at Medium level by default. If you select "High" or "Very High," Trellix Labs recommends that you set the "On threat detection" action to "Report" only for the first scan.
