Re: Report: boot sector viruses and rootkits poised for comeback

Yeah sure.

The current GMER beta, at »www2.gmer.net/beta, can detect and remove all variants of MBRKit at the moment.

Prevx's "Prevx CSI" can at least detect, and I believe remove, all variants of MBRKit.

A number of other antirootkit tools and AVs have varying levels of detection and removal, depending on variants.

Neosploit is forcing vulnerable PCs to download and install the latest version of the infamous Trojan.Mebroot.
