I discovered the program called Amust on this board installed it and found it
useful.
However after scanning for rootkits I had a hit with this program so I deleted
the program,
washed my system and did another rookkit scan and it still came up positive. I
searched
the registry and tried to delete all Amust registry keys (of which I found 3
remaining after
deleting the program) I could not delete one of them using delete in regedit.
Washed
again and ran another scan for rootkit again a positive hit for Amust.
I can neither confirm nor deny that this rookkit hit is malicious in anyway
however I though
I would warn the group and they could make their own deduction whether they
wanted to
install the program or not.
In my opinion any "program" that tries to completely hide from you so you
cannot tell it is
on your machine should be considered a threat.
