Re: Using Process Explorer to remove hard to remove malware
Hmmm...I think Process Explorer is a great program but I'm not so sure it's the best way to defeat malware. It's a great diagnostic and perhaps a good first step in determining what's going on with a possibly infected box but I think better tools exist.
Why?
Well, I follow both the Security and Security Cleanup forums pretty regularly. Admittedly, I'm no expert but I can't recall any of our anti-malware gurus recommending Process Explorer as a primary tool to remove nasties.
Generally, more target-specific tools are used (e.g. Combofix, ATF Cleaner, et al).
TheJoker, CajunTek, CJ and the other DSLR security helpers will know more about this than I. I hope some of them can chime in and shed some light on this subject.
BTW SCU helpers, muchas gracias for all your work!!
