AFX Rootkit is created by Aphex in 2004.
It works with WINDOWS NT/2000/XP/2003.
AFX Rootkit hides:
Processes
Handles
Modules
Files & Folders
Registry Values
Services
TCP/UDP Sockets
Systray Icons
How it works?
AFX RootKit uses the driver "mc21.tmp" located in the Temp folder.
AFX RootKit installs the hidden service. The name of the service is chosen by the hacker.
Usually a hacker installs AFX RootKit to the Windows subfolder. In this case the AFX Rootkit service name will be equal to the subfolder name.
AFX RootKit does not hide the registry keys of its service and driver.
You can use regedit to stop the service manually.

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.
