Hacktool.Rootkit is used to install backdoors on systems. They are made up of a variety of programs and scripts that break into systems and attempt to hide evidence of the intrusion. Attackers use these kits to gain Administrator or Superuser access on vulnerable systems.

Norton Antivirus finds the file, but wont let me delete it. If I try to manually delete the file I cant find it. Anyone have any tips on getting rid of this?

Thanks

Norton should be able to remove this file. If it cannot, go to safe mode and re-run the scan and then follow Erik's advice.

My advice, is to follow Erik's advice and the assistance offered here. If we are not successful at the initial removal...

You can look at this tool...


The tool is the system virginity identifier. A STRONG WARNING - the results of the scan can be confusing DO NOT DELETE ANYTHING unless you are able to identify it or paste the results here and we can do a bit of digging on the results for you.

Again...DO NOT DELETE ANYTHING WITHOUT IDENTIFYING IT FIRST!!!

My apologies for repeating it but the first time I ran that tool it took me about ten minutes to figure out exactly what was what.

One last bit of advice, disable system restore prior to any removal.

if it's a rootkit ewido won't get rid of it. you need to run sysinternals rootkit and post the log it makes!

I would recommend running Rootkit Revealer, but after some reading, it probably won't find anything. Reason being, the rootkit doesn't appear to do any hiding. I could be wrong on that, but it doesn't appear to. RKR won't detect anything that doesn't do any hiding. For example, FU doesn't hide files, and RKR's README states it will not detect FU because of this.

Another thing, be careful about downloading files from sources other than the original source. The last thing you need is another trojan on your system because you downloaded an untrusted tool from an untrusted source. Being in the job that I am, I have to ensure the tools I run are known to be good because at any time, I can be taken to court and asked to verify my forensics. If I download a tool without testing it first and verifying it is what it says it is (meaning not downloading from unverified sources), all of the evidence can be thrown out. Something to keep in mind anyway.

Looks like I was wrong, it does hide. So anything hidden RKR should give up. :)
