New Bitdefender Tool Allows Bootkit Disinfection
21 December 2011
Bootkits are the ultimate e-threats to one?s PC. They have been around since Windows 2000 and have undergone consistent development to circumvent the security mechanisms of operating systems ever since. No doubt, bootkits are the most dangerous and powerful breeds of malware, as they subvert the system at the most basic level possible.
It goes without saying that bootkit infection can dramatically impact users?security. Bootkit removal is extremely delicate, as bootkits live outside the file system and can manipulate security checks by returning a copy of the pristine master boot record whenever an antivirus or forensic utility is run atop of the compromised OS.
That is why we developed a tool that can detect and remove all known variants of bootkits. The tool is available for free on the Malware City Downloads section and can be used on both 32- and 64-bits of Windows.
