Commenting on reports that the infamous TDL-4 rootkit malware has been reworked to better withstand antivirus and other IT security software, Avecto says that the removal of admin rights can add an extra layer of defence in the ongoing battle against the malware coders.
According to Mark Austin, chief technology officer with the Windows privilege management specialist, TDL-4 has evolved into a highly-advanced fourth-generation botnet launcher that supports encrypted communications and decentralised controls, as well as the ability to detect and delete other malware.
