I seem to be having a problem getting rid of a rootkit on a machine, it started off with a fake security alert called i-security.
Ive removed the majority of the malware but malwarebytes is still showing 2 infections which are rootkits and it removes them, however on rebooting it just comes back and finds them again.
Ive tried using tdsskiller and avasts rootkit utility but they also remove it and it comes straight back! Same with MS Security Essentials.
Im just going to try Avast Free now as thats not been to bad for me in the past.
Can anyone suggest a good rootkit removal tool please?
