Help: My PC is infested with Rootkits...?

I used RootkitRevealer to blow their cover and when I tried saving the scan report, the GUI of the scanner started going nuts (I couldn't even select "File" then "Save"). I plan to rescan and hope for a "one-chance, one-command" to save the report before the GUI breaks up again.


I need the report to know where the rootkits are so I can know which files to be careful with after backing them up from my PC. I intend to use my "Recovery partition" which definately is clean as I have not made a single backup since the day my PC was turned on for the first time (also when the Recovery partition was created).


If I clean my C-drive after its contents are backed up, will copying them back to my PC re-infect it...as in, do Rootkits follow files onto CDs/DVDs so they can spread? Do they also infect Symbian phones?


Thanx.

Theres no limit to what rootkits can do on your computer, most rootkits perform operations in stealth and they infect almost any software; so yes, its possible that they can infect cell phones since cell phones have software in them.

Reply:Hello ' a_danhamidu ' :


I have a program that I bought for my PC that takes care of rootkits . I have to select ' Custom Scan ' and instruct the program to search for ' rootkits ' .





The Canadian price for me was $60.00 . The program comes as a CD to install on your PC . It's called , " Webroot Spy Sweeper with AntiVirus " .





As long as you're willing to spend the money , it's a GOOD program . It works !
