Win32: Virtumonde-IS
« on: April 14, 2008, 12:24:36 PM »
As I have read, Avast doesn´t protect against rootkit. I have scanned my computer a few times and every time this rootkit appears I delete it and then I agree to scan the computer off, but it stays there.

Should I be worried????

4.8 will remove rootkits, but the Virtumonde detection may not be a rootkit- just a protected file.

Make sure you have the latest version of avast! and run a boot time scan.

If the problems persists, you'll need to run Combofix and post a log, as described here:
