Company's Description:ĪswMBR is the rootkit scanner that scans for TDL4/3, MBRoot (Sinowal), Whistler and other rootkits. In this situation you should rename executable to iexplore.exe before you attempt to run it. When you run aswMBR, if it is shutdown automatically, then it is most likely the infection detecting that aswMBR is running and terminating it.
These types of programs are typically harder to remove than generic malware, which is the reason that stand-alone utilities such as TDSSKiller have been developed. For this program to properly work it must first download the Avast virus definitions, so you will need an active Internet connection before using it.Ī rootkit is a malware program that is designed to hide itself or other computer infections on your computer. This includes the TDL4/3, MBRoot (Sinowal), and Whistler rootkits. Some malware is designed to infect the MBR before your operating system and your antivirus software. The infected code runs when the system is booted from an infected disk, but once loaded it will infect other floppy disks when accessed in the infected computer. Some infect the boot sector of the hard disk instead of the MBR. AswMBR is a anti-rootkit scanner that searchs your computer for Rootkits that infect the Master Boot Record, or MBR, of your computer. The master boot record (MBR) contains the information your computer needs about how your disk is organized, which area of your drive contains the operating system you want to use, and how to load that operating system. A boot sector virus is a type of virus that infects the boot sector of floppy disks or the Master Boot Record (MBR) of hard disks.
