dxupdate.exe - Dangerous
dxupdate.exe
Jeff's Story:
My PC had gotten a bad rootkit that my ISP antivirus software (powered by McAfee) could not detect, nor could fix.
I sought a solution on the Internet and discovered your product and tried out the trial.
You quickly found the rootkit and SAVED my PC!
I haven't had any problems since, and I'm extremely grateful.

If the system is Windows NT/2000/XP/Server 2003, it will attempt to infect the C:\NTLDR file.
