Malware Removal Tools

The following tools have been developed by FortiGuard labs to disable and remove the specific malware and related variants. Some tools have been developed to remove specific malware, often tough to remove. A universal cleaning tool, FortiCleanup, is also available for download.

FortiCleanup is a tool developed to identify and cleanse systems of malicious rootkit files and their associated malware.

Rootkits consist of code installed on a system with kernel level privileges, often used to hide malicious files, keylog and thwart detection / security techniques. This makes malware more effective against traditional client-based scanning techniques. The aim of this tool is to reduce the effectiveness of such malware by finding and eliminating rootkits. The latest release can be obtained from this page. The tool offers a quick memory scan as well as a full system scan.
FortiCleanup will not only remove malicious files, but also can cleanse registry entries, kernel module patches, and other tricks commonly used by rootkits - such as SSDT hooks and process enumeration hiding.

A license to use these applications is provided free of charge, courtesy of Fortinet.
