With the newest build of Malwarebytes Anti-Rootkit BETA, detecting and removing the nastiest malicious rootkits just became a whole lot better.

Malwarebytes Anti-Rootkit BETA 1.06 addresses a recent and particularly nasty ZAccess variant which breaks Windows Defender.

This new build removes the rootkit and automatically starts the repair process to patch up damages committed by the rootkit, including fixing Windows Defender.

Users infected with rootkits — or who suspect they may be infected by rootkits — are encouraged to use Malwarebytes Anti-Rootkit BETA as it has proven to be both stable and incredibly effective, not only at detecting and removing rootkits, but also replacing patched files and fixing the fallout these infections do to users’ operating systems.

This cutting edge technology is currently in BETA, so use at your own risk.

The business model behind going directly to the source is efficient because criminals only need to compromise a few ATMs to collect hundreds, if not thousands, of credit card numbers which can immediately be sold on the black market.
