Hi All

I need to run a test that detectors spyware that is currently on a computer as well as detect traces of spyware when they have been deleted/ removed.

Does anyone know of a software that can do this or any other method that i can try?

Nish

For client use, as a removal tools, I like

SpyWare Terminator
Hi Jack This
Combo Fix

Each will generate logs of what they find and can offer removal of sorts.

I usually have to do some registry edits and file deletions as well.

Process Explorer is great for seeing the running processes particularly spyware.

How ever if removal has been done in the past in a very thorough manner you would have to do a deeper investigation.

Restore points I would think could offer you some insight that way.

What are you analyzing? Is it an image in DD or EO1 or do you have the original hard drive or a cloned copy of the original? If you have the hard drive then start by scanning it with all the free online scanners not to mention the usual like SpyBot, Hijack This, etc. If it is an image and not the hard drive you will need to run it in a VM environment. Somewhere there is a free one and if I run into it I will send it.

Many thanks to douglasbrush for the follow up on Live View. I am thinking it will only run a DD image and if you are in E01 you may need to spend some money for the software to run it. By the way I left out the obvious disclaimer that you connect your hard drive to a write blocker so your spyware scanners will not automatically disinfect and destroy your evidence! Your hard drive should always be on a write blocker by default anyway needless to say. I assume you have a case where the accused is saying it's not my fault, I was infected. D

FTK Imager (free download) will convert E01 files to DD without a problem.
