Super Antispyware
Recently my server got hit with three nasty rootkits.
I know how it got infected, I turned off the firewall to help me setup a particular program and I forgot about it. I also opened up the ports to use with that software on the hardware router. Oops.
I know, I should be shot. 
To help me clean my computers of nasty spyware and malware I always use Spybot Search & Destroy in combination with Ad-Aware. But after using these several times the nasty rootkits would continue to download stuff to my server. That’s because Spybot Search & Destroy and Ad-Aware were not finding the rootkits.
After finally understanding that something else was still creating havoc with my server, I went searching for an antispyware that could help me remove whatever it was.
I am happy to say that I found it in Super Antispyware. This software can find rootkits and eliminate those as well as spyware and malware.

Do a search for rootkits on this list and you will see the number of rootkits Super Antispyware can find and eliminate.
Rootkits are notorious for being difficult to remove from a computer once it’s infected. The best course of action, if one isn’t so stressed for time is to just reinstall Windows (or whatever the operating system that got infected).
I am satisfied that my server is clean and I kept a close eye on the services that are running on the server via the Task Manager and I don’t see the nasty rootkits there anymore. The makers of Super Antispyware claim that it can remove over a million threats, it sounds like an exaggeration, but I am satisfied with the results and I saved time not having to reinstall Windows.
Super Antispyware offers a free version, which is the one that I am using.
