Interesting situation here… I ran a virus scan last night and came back with a rootkit infection. Avast had me flag it for deletion, and restart my computer and run a boot scan. So I did that.
When my computer came back on, I ran another virus scan to see if the rootkit was gone. Yes, the one from before no longer showed up, but now it’s telling me that I have 2 more rootkits that differ from the original one that had not been there before. So my questions are these:
How do I know when a rootkit is completely gone?
Is it normal to remove one and have several more appear in its place?
