Re: Did Process Guard stop the Sony rootkit?

I would have hoped that 95% of the people who have the nous to have ProcessGuard installed would also have sufficient knowledge and nous NOT to have installed the rootkit.
That's a good call Oremina. The ProcessGuard website and helpfile both have plenty of information about rootkits, and there are even Tips Of The Day in PG itself with such info - it's just as important to arm customers with good security knowledge as it is to arm them with good security software. One of the main options in ProcessGuard is "Block Rootkit/Driver/Service Installation" - a checkbox you can simply turn on or off at will, so ProcessGuard users are generally quite aware of drivers and their security implications. |
