Sophos Anti Rootkit description
Sophos Anti-Rootkit eliminates hidden applications and processes
Removing rootkits without compromising system integrity is particularly challenging and needs to be done with care.
Sophos Anti-Rootkit will find and remove any rootkit that is hidden on your computer.
The term rootkit is used to define a Trojan (or technology) used to hide the presence of a malicious object (process, file, registry key, network port) from the computer user or administrator.
Here are some key features of "Sophos Anti Rootkit": |
|
· Scans running processes, windows registry and local hard drives for rootkits.
· Identifies known rootkits and selects, by default, files for removal which will remove the rootkit component of the malware without compromising OS integrity.
· Allows users to remove unidentified hidden files, but does not allow removal of essential system files when hidden by an identified rootkit.
· Once the user has run a scan, the screen prompts the user through the necessary steps until every rootkit has been removed.
· Users can switch between the GUI and command-line functionality.
· Both context sensitive and command-line help are available.

TrueCrypt is a software system for establishing and maintaining an on-the-fly-encrypted drive. On-the-fly encryption means that data are automatically encrypted or decrypted right before they are loaded or saved, without any user intervention. No data stored on an encrypted volume can be read (decrypted) without using the correct password or correct encryption key. Until decrypted, a TrueCrypt volume appears to be nothing more than a series of random numbers. The entire file system is encrypted (i.e., file names, folder names, contents of every file, and free space).
This software is highly recommended for securing data on laptops. |
|
TrueCrypt performs the following tasks:
Creates a virtual encrypted disk within a file and mounts it as a real disk.
Encrypts an entire partition or storage device such as USB flash drive or hard drive.
Encrypts a partition or drive where Windows is installed (pre-boot authentication).
Encryption is automatic, real-time (on-the-fly) and transparent.
Provides two levels of plausible deniability, in case an adversary forces you to reveal the password: 1) Hidden volume (steganography) and hidden operating system. 2) No TrueCrypt volume can be identified (volumes cannot be distinguished from random data).
Encryption algorithms: AES-256, Serpent, and Twofish. Mode of operation: XTS.
