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.
Manual removal instructions:
When Spyware.Netrat is installed on the system, it tracks Internet usage and submits the tracked information to a server.
Also, the computer attempts to connect to http://premeter.opistat.com.
Must be installed on the system by executing a file or by visiting certain Web sites.
However, if this program is installed when you visit a Web site, you must agree to the installation.
Adds the value: "Premeter"="C:\Program Files\Netratings\Premeter\Netratings.exe"
or: "Premeter"="C:\Program Files\Netratings\Premeter\Nrpr.exe"
to the registry key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
Creates one of the following files:
C:\Program Files\Netratings\Premeter\Netratings.exe
C:\Program Files\Netratings\Premeter\Nrpr.exe
Information is not displayed on the screen when the programs are being installed,
but Spyware.Netrat adds the entry "Premeter" in the Add/Remove option in the Control Panel in Windows.
Remove it from startup with RegRun Startup Optimizer.
