| ThreatExpert Memory Scanner (TEMS) is a prototype product developed by the ThreatExpert team.
TEMS
provides a "post-mortem" diagnostic to detect a range of high-profile
threats that may be active in different regions of a computer’s memory.
This tool is designed to assist in answering a common question asked by
many customers whose systems have been infected by a threat: "Is my
system still infected?"

Sometimes
threats may potentially slip under the radar of conventional malware
scanners by engaging in stealth techniques to hide their presence on a
PC. Often, in such a scenario, the original threat file is encrypted
with polymorphic encryptors which rely on anti-debugging and
anti-emulation techniques, presenting a challenging task for malware
scanners attempting to detect it. Such techniques are used by threat
families including Citwail/Pandex/DieHard, Storm, Mailbot/Rustock and
some others.
However, when
such a threat is loaded in memory, it needs to decrypt its own
malicious code, completely or partially, or it is unable to run. This
is where TEMS comes in; by using advanced techniques it is able to
detect traces of these threats in memory and alert you of their
existence.
NOTE: ThreatExpert Memory Scanner provides detection of threats that are already active on a client’s computer system. It does NOT provide you with any ongoing protection and does it replace conventional anti-virus or anti-spyware products. |

| I had massive external hard drive problems, as in, it was fucked and i couldnt access it at all.. I put Threatfire on, ran it, saw loads of shit on the screen about drivers and such, and it all of a sudden started working.....  Coincidence obviously, but fuck it, if it works, it works... | |
