Microsoft Says Recovery from Malware Becoming Impossible | |
|
||
| Time: 00:00 EST/05:00 GMT | News Source: eWeek | Posted By: Robert Stein | ||

In a rare discussion about the severity of the Windows malware scourge, a Microsoft security official said businesses should consider investing in an automated process to wipe hard drives and reinstall operating systems as a practical way to recover from malware infestation. "When you are dealing with rootkits and some advanced spyware programs, the only solution is to rebuild from scratch. In some cases, there really is no way to recover without nuking the systems from orbit," Mike Danseglio, program manager in the Security Solutions group at Microsoft, said in a presentation at the InfoSec World conference here. | ||

If you get infected with a rootkit, and try to get rid of it, there's no way to be 100% sure you've gotten rid of it without wiping the hard drive and starting over. Otherwise, the rootkit could just be making you think you got rid of it.
This is the same regardless of operating system. UNIX experts will tell you the same thing. |
