falcon Posted December 12, 2010 Report Share Posted December 12, 2010 Today I installed panda anti rootkit, which will work alongside Immunet as Immunet does not provide rootkit protection in free version. The panda anti rootkit is a very small file which can be downloaded from here. Panda anti-rootkit. Just thought of sharing this as it might be useful to other users of Immunet.

Guest Orlando Posted December 12, 2010 Report Share Posted December 12, 2010 I remember it hasen't got the real time protection against rootkits. Orlando Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ritchie58 Posted December 13, 2010 Report Share Posted December 13, 2010 When I was running the free versions of Panda and Immunet I was more concerned about rootkits myself. I tried the Panda Anti-Rootkit app and couldn't get it to work for me. My review I posted at CNET can be seen in the link provided by falcon under ritchie58. If you read some of the other reviews other people besides me ran into the same situation. It works great for some folks, others not so lucky. Another good app at sniffing out rootkits is F-Secure Blacklight Root-Kit Eliminator which works flawlessly for me. One downside to F-Secure's app is no technical support but it's very easy to use. Just follow the instructions. If a rootkit is detected all you have to do is rename the file which renders the rootkit inoperable. After which is easily deleted.
