To add to the previous post. If you are going to look for rootkits I would suggest formatting and re-installing. If you suspect you have a root-kit on your PC theres no need to identify it or KNOW you have one. Just do a full format & reinstall. If you have a rootkit,theres no complete way to remove it. I mean to know 100% that everything critical is removed. The time you are going to spend investigating this, cleaning it and worrying about the after effects would be better spent reinstalling. For all those who are going to hit me with "you should know if there's a rootkit", this is a stand alone PC, not corporate and the expertise and time may be lacking. Also the lvl of sensitivity of the PC is probably very low. Format and move on Merci / Thanks Philippe Rivest, CEH Vérificateur interne en sécurité de l'information Courriel: Privest () transforce ca Téléphone: (514) 331-4417 www.transforce.ca -----Message d'origine----- De : listbounce () securityfocus com [mailto:listbounce () securityfocus com] De la part de infolookup () gmail com Envoyé : 2 juillet 2008 15:13 À : GremaGehan () web de; listbounce () securityfocus com; security-basics () securityfocus com Objet : Re: Crash Monitor Virus protection up to date? Any P2P software like lime wire that could bring in tones of problems? Did you recently add any new software or hardware? Also go to Microsoft site and download a root kit program and scan your pc. ------Original Message------ From: GremaGehan () web de Sender: listbounce () securityfocus com To: security-basics () securityfocus com Sent: Jul 2, 2008 2:20 PM Subject: Crash Monitor Hello list, my wife using Win 2000 + MS Office to writing her thesis. Of course there are also such important tools like a Skype, ICQ ...... etc. (you know ... ) At now it is daily that this PC is crashing. I don't know why. It is possible to detect the crashing application? Do you know some tool (something like DrWatson.)? The PC ist patched, Event Viewer show nothing. The most probably case is: ca. 1 hour after login hanging this PC up. Independently of runnig applications. After restart its work normally. Thank you in advance Martin _______________________________________________________________________ EINE FÜR ALLE: die kostenlose WEB.DE-Plattform für Freunde und Deine Homepage mit eigenem Namen.
