but i think rootkit is more difficul to remove


HARD TO REMOVE?? GOT PROBLEM?? USE AVIRA .. 99.3% rate given by vb100%

for me, i prefer Combo Fix , got 1 rootkit attached over my explorer.exe and all my active processes are attached, so my AV and AS can't remove, till combo fix did it

My Avira root kit scanner found lots of hidden objects

all of them, ALU.exe.

I asked the Avira forum guy, what is it.
He thinks its safe and its an Asus Live Update.

The Acer tech support (for my computer) also said the same thing.
But where is the file stored, can't locate it even after "unhide" files.

What do you guys think?

for rootkit problems, try gmer from gmer.net

it does a quick scan, if found anything it will remove rootkit. easy peasy

I'm using AVG anti virus' rootkit detector. Should be good enough

Im using Kaspersky Rootkit Killer:
