Do other AV solutions have Rootkit protection now?
Many AV vendors claim to have protections against rootkits. Most either detect that a rootkit already known to them is trying to install, or that a number of obscure processes may be hidden rootkits, without any way of removing them. That is, they can protect against some rootkits as theyre being installed, but not against active rootkits already on the system. Active, already installed rootkits were usually impossible to detect from inside the operating system. NOD32 v2.7 technology now works against Active rootkits, which was difficult before. On-demand/on-access scanners have a real view of all processes, regardless of the stealth activity of the rootkit. NOD32s integrated Anti-Stealth Technology allows NOD32 to bypass rootkit hooks, seeing the real program output. It is also transparent for users Users dont have to understand how it works, or learn new habits to combat the newest rootkit threats.
