Microsoft Releases Blue Screen Rootkit Detection Tool
Last month's Microsoft security updates have caused some controversy over a single patch in the pack that was first thought to cause blue screen on some computer systems. It later turned out that the patch was not responsible for the blue screens but a rootkit that had altered some files of the operating system.
The solution back then was to clean the computer system first by running up to date rootkit detection software before installing the security patch.
Two updates have been released on the issue by Microsoft which are both worth mentioned. The patch has been redesigned by Microsoft to block the patching if “abnormal†conditions exist.
