My HOME machine's infected (running W2000). Had mbam full-scan drives - no malware detected. Started update but my PC is sending out TOO much data. (This is how I first got suspicious.) Stopped update.
Next day, 9/14, at work, downloaded latest version of mbam, stored on flash drive.
At home, installed mbam, full-scanned drives - no malware detected. Updated database online. Still leery about amount of data I am sending (sent:received ratio was 1:2, previously it had been about 1:1). Full scanned with updated database. no malware detected.
Next day, 9/15, at work, plug flash drive into my PC, within 2sec Symantec warning about detecting "Hacktool_rootkit".
So, there's my problem. Mbam can't detect this item.
When it is solved, is there any way I can update the database from a different machine, like my work PC, and copy that onto my home PC? I don't want to use the home PC online until this is fixed.
Full Version: hacktool-rootkit
