How to Find and Delete a rootkit with GmerProblemMy computer may be infected with Rootkit malware, because it is reported but can't be deleted by my Antivirus software. The strange thing is I can not find it in that path. Please tell me how to find a rootkit.
Solution 1. Download
Gmer and run it. You'd better change the program name, because some malware won't let gmer.exe launch.
2. When the Gmer runs, it will automatically scan your system partition. You can also select the disk to scan.
3. When the scan is finished, Gmer will automatically report finding the Rootkit. Click Yes or No to close this window. If you know there is only that Rootkit, you can choose NO.
4. Right-click on that process and click Kill process. Next click >>> Arrow point, you will find more functions.
5. Click Files tab, locate the Rootkit and Delete it.
6. Some Rootkit may create new Services, click Services tab and Delete it.
7. Gmer has a built-in Registry Editor, you can delete the key value that Rootkit created.
8. You can check the Autostart tab, see if there are the residues of Rootkit.
