ELF.Lootor-H

Hi Guys, I’m new here so please forgive me if I braek any written or unwritten rules!

Does anyone know this pest; ‘ELF.Lootor-H’ …and what’s it doing?

LaKris.

An antivirus may see a root kit as a virus, because it essentially is. It's a hack to break the bootloaders security, so you can gain access to your NAND partitions and load a custom recovery, etc.

Hi Essexboy,

I don’t know if this right but it seems I can’t find out how to answer comments!

Thank You.
