Because rootkits compromise a computer at such a low level, removal is extremely difficult. Therefore, only qualified helpers will be allowed to give advice to victims. If you believe that you are qualified, please PM:
Prince_Serendip or Negster22

If you are a victim, do NOT accept advice from anyone who is NOT in the Rootkit Detection Hosts usergroup, the Rootkit Responders usergroup, or who are qualified Staff members.


Note: We encourage everyone to post in the Rootkit Revelations forum. We are only restricting posts to victims when their computer is infected.

The Rootkit Revelations Forums uses a team approach to problem solving. When dealing with rootkits, more heads are better than one. Everyone pitches in here to help clean this crap off people's computers.
