im sure ive told the full story before, but bugs_ told me i was failing a certain lasthope scan. i wasn't cheating so it seemed odd. i downloaded plasmatics basic install and re-joined and asked bugs_ if i was still failing the scan - answer was yes.
i tried like 10 different configs and failed scans with all of them. knowing for sure that i wasn't cheating, i had to look at different reasons for failing a scan - like something in my system hooking .dlls
didn't find anything until i ran an anti-rootkit tool from a bootable disc - and it found a rootkit
removed rootkit, re-joined the server and passed the lasthope scans with the same configs
there was no other evidence on my system of the rootkit, no unusual activity no anti-virus popups - so im quite grateful to bugs_ for helping me troubleshoot it and bringing my attention to it. who knows how long i would have gone on infected without knowing.
if i wanted to pass lasthope scans i could have, someone even gave me a chunk of code to make it easier :wink: :wink: :nudge: :nudge: :you:
