Anti RAT Program

[Guest]

So I was told a while ago about a program that can tell you if you're being 'ratted' I forgot the name of it but I was just wondering if anyone had the best one on their mind

 

edit - for windows please

if by RAT you mean Remote Administration Tool, any good anti-malware should do the job. Something like Malwarebyter or Bitdefender.

 

If it's not that kind of RAT, then idk what you mean

Those are the programs that prevent them and etc, I want the program that can tell if you are currently ratted.

If they are on your PC, than anti malware or anti virus should pick it up with its real time protection.

they can also scan for current infection, that's the anti-malware job

Thanks, but do you know of a program like the one I've stated anyway? I'll keep that in mind for future reference

I think SpyHunter. It's an anti-rootkit and anti-spyware software, but I never tested it so I can't say much about its efficiency

 

edit: also Spybot Search&Destroy. my father used this one

It's difficult to detect them if your are not an expert because RAT usually hide themselves inside HTTPS and HTTP traffic and thereby resemble normal network traffic. But if they are on your PC, Malwarebytes and other antivirus should able to prevent them slip into your machine in the first place.

That sounds satisfying enough to me

SpyHunter is a fake antivirus.

If you following these steps than you should be fine:

 

Keeps Windows up-to-date.

 

Keeps browsers up-to-date.

 

Keeps antivirus/antimalware up-to-date. You can run Malwarebytes Anti Malware alongside with any Antivirus for strong protection.

 

Make sure software firewall is on.

 

Make sure your router have a firewall as well, because software firewall + hardware firewall = difficult for hackers to penetrate your security without compromise your computer or your router IP.

 

Make sure your router use WPA2 key. 

 

Common sense.
