NTRootKit

Home » What is ...

Summary: NTRootKit appears to be a hacker tool that once installed in your computer can gain admin access and perform various functions.

What is NTRootKit?

From McAfee and Network Associates: "The NTRootKit is a hacker tool, used after an attacker has gained admin access to a Windows NT/2K system. Once the NTRootKit has been installed, an attacker can perform various functions..." Read their article. Yet another reason to scan for viruses regularly.

Hi there, I am really getting cheesed with this "ntrootkit.exe" file that appears each time I turn on the computer. How can I get rid of that screen, as well as the rootkit. I did have NORTON protection, but since last week no more, so I am using only Temporary protection.

My plan is to get McAfee of such as soon as possible.
Hope you can drop my a note, to help
THANKS
