A question for Broni or Tmagic650 regarding rootkits

[learninmypc]

I've noticed the newest version of M-bam has an option to scan for rootkits

& in scans Broni has requested

Although the one in M-bam takes longer, are they basically the same thing? TIA

@Tmagic650 & @Broni I know you two are busy, but are they one in the same, or not ?

Yes , Accept. A stand a lone one dose better. When cleaning a computer that is highly infected. Least wise it has always for me.

So are you saying the program https://www.techspot.com/downloads/4716-malwarebytes-anti-malware.html
is better than the other one

Not really saying that. Malwarebytes -Anti- Malware is a great program. Even for scanning for rootkits. I just prefer to use some stand alone programs such as TDSSkiller. When working with a highly infected computer. Both programs do the same thing. As with any cleaner. One might find something the other did not.

Ok, I guess I should of elaborated a bit. Are the resulting scans from TDSSkiller easy to read & understand for a partial novice? I'm probably confusing myself too much now.

Have you ever ran it. If not give it a try. It will not hurt your computer in anyway. Nor will you hurt the computer running it. Yes they are easy to read.
