The best alternative to MWB we discovered is TDSSKILLER by Kaspersky. It’s free and updated weekly by the Kaspersky team. And it worked in many of our deep-kernel infections. When the rookit disabled MWB (PRO VERSION) , I knew this was no ordinary rootkit.
And yes, NOTHING is 100% protection. That’s why Norton, AVG, kaspersky will EVER state that theirs is 100%. It comes down to common-sense web surfing.
I use the Kaspersky TDSSKLLER as well. The only one that has successfully fixed the search engine redirect virus for me.
