exile360 Posted August 1, 2008 ID:24177 Share Posted August 1, 2008 Is RR still in development at all? I've noticed it hasn't been updated (program or database) in a very long time and when you released the new version of MBAM with the updated zlib.dll, which RR also uses, it got no update. I was just wondering if it's only use now would be for the immunization/removal of older rogue programs, or if it will be updated to detect newer threats in the future.

Root Admin RubbeR DuckY Posted August 1, 2008 Root Admin ID:24200 Share Posted August 1, 2008 The problem with newer rogue applications is they employ the use of stronger malware to stay embedded in the system. RogueRemover has never been effective against these rogues. It can prevent the installation of many of them, but can not help with removal.To answer your question, RogueRemover the application will no longer be updated but the database will be.

Tarun Posted August 2, 2008 ID:24260 Share Posted August 2, 2008 That's a shame, because while testing some (rogue) software that was literally advertised on tv RogueRemover found it and MBAM didn't touch on it at all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
exile360 Posted August 5, 2008 Author ID:24353 Share Posted August 5, 2008 MBAM probably didn't get it because they were older rogues (just a guess) which I seem to remember reading that the older ones detected by RR would not be added to MBAM's defs.

Tarun Posted August 5, 2008 ID:24370 Share Posted August 5, 2008 Which is a shame, because the malware that RogueRemover found and removed was some that was in a tv advertisement (Finally Fast). So I can easily see that as being a threat since it's been advertised on tv in recent months. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
exile360 Posted August 9, 2008 Author ID:24580 Share Posted August 9, 2008 OOH!! Thanks A LOT for the info, I kept wondering if Finally Fast was rogue, i deeply suspected as much (I remember when eacceleration/stopsign advertised their crapware on tv).
