Whistler Bootkit

Posted: February 26, 2010

Whistler Bootkit is a malicious malware that consists of one or more programs designed to obscure the fact that a system has been compromised. Whistler Bootkit is Windows bootkit which attacks all Windows versions from 2000 up to the recent Server 2008 and 7. Whistler Bootkit can be used to start an executable with NT-AUTHORITY\SYSTEM rights on every startup of the OS and secure it from anything and anyone, making it almost impossible to remove. Once Whistler Bootkit is installed in a machine, it can give full and totally hidden access to a malicious hacker. An infected machine can remain compromised for months, if not for years, with this kind of bootkit without leaving any trace of the infection. Use a proven malware remover to terminate Whistler Bootkit immediately.
