Kaspersky TDSSKiller Download v2.8.17.0

Download Kaspersky TDSSKiller - Kaspersky Lab has developed the TDSSKiller utility that allows removing rootkits. A rootkit for Windows systems is a program that penetrates into the system and intercepts the system functions (Windows API).

This is a great and handy tool which is free to use.  Rootkits burrow into the roots of your Windows operating system, hiding and intercepting Windows API functions, often modifying them for their own purposes, which are seldom benign. TDSSKiller by Kaspersky Labs can find and remove rootkits, either in Normal Mode or Safe Mode. It targets malware where it lurks, including boot records.

We extracted and ran TDSSKiller, which immediately found an available update. Kaspersky strongly advised downloading the update before we scanned our system; we strongly agreed. This involved downloading and extracting a completely new copy of this compact, portable app, but that probably took less time than most ordinary updates. The tool's interface is about as simple as they come: one big Scan button, plus buttons to Change Parameters, view a Report, and Close the program. But the interface also describes what TDSSKiller targets, including a variety of known rootkits as well as rootkit-like anomalies, among them Sinowal, Stoned, Whistler, Trop, Cmoser, Pihar, and others, with new threats added by updates. We clicked Start Scan. TDSSKiller scanned 445 objects in our system in 13 seconds and found zero threats. That's what we expected it to find, but it's still a relief to see a clean report. We clicked Change Parameters, which let us select or deselect both Services and drivers and Boot sector for scanning (both are selected by default). The program only offers two more options: Verify file digital signatures and Detect TDLFS file system. A button lets you quickly restore the default settings.

Even though TDSSKiller found no malware to remove from our system, it generated a detailed report of every step of the recent operation. While we're glad we didn't need Kaspersky TDSSKiller, we don't doubt its ability to find what it claims it can, in part because we've had good experiences with other free utilities from Kaspersky Labs, but also because it's worked well for users who need it to clean up their systems. We're just glad it's available, and happy to run it on our supposedly clean system, even if only to prove it's clean. Come to think of it, that may be the best reason of all.

Important

    Indeed it's a nice program for removing malwares from highly infected systems. I've been using Kaspersky AV/IS for years now (+ Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware Free + SuperAntiSpyware Free Edition) and never had a problem with viruses or any kind of other malware.
    But for removing viruses/rootkits/worms/backdoors and all sorts of malware on highly infected sistems I recommend using next programs in this order:
    1). Kaspersky Rescue Disk 10 (it's bootable OS on CD with AV)
    2). Combofix (fantastic anti-malware program, use it in Windows Save Mode with Networking)
    ...and then clean rest of the malware garbage from HDD's/SSD's and from Windows Registry with:
    3). Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware Free (full scan) ...and
    4). SuperAntiSpyware Free Edition (complete scan)

    After that there is almost no chance for any type of malware to survive no matter how tough they are.

    Guys, dont forget to click on "Change parameters" and tick all options and restart pc before scanning. edit: And choose all options again after restart and scan. thx

    and this serious windows 7 problem , take a look and uninstall that security update pls http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2839011

    Microsoft is investigating behavior where systems may not recover from a restart, or applications cannot load, after security update 2823324 is applied. We recommend that customers uninstall this update. As an added precaution, Microsoft has removed the download links to the 2823324 update while we investigate.

    I've used TDSSKILLER for over a year now, I only use the Detect TDLFS option.

    As for KB2823324, it's been installed on my system since 9th April and not had any problems, think it was 32bit Win7 that was having most issues!!
