| Kaspersky Lab has developed the TDSSKiller utility that that detects and removes both, known (TDSS, Sinowal, Whistler, Phanta, Trup, Stoned) and unknown rootkits. A rootkit is a program or a program kit that hides the presence of malware in the system. A rootkit for Windows systems is a program that penetrates into the system and intercepts the system functions (Windows API). It can effectively hide its presence by intercepting and modifying low-level API functions. Moreover it can hide the presence of particular processes, folders, files and registry keys. Some rootkits install their own drivers and services in the system (they also remain “invisible”). The KDSSKiller utility supports 32- and 64-bit operating systems. It has a graphical interface, needs no install and is easy to use. Full information on the home page.
