Anti-rootkit Utilities

 

A rootkit is a program or a program kit that hides the presence of malware in the system.

A rootkit for Windows systems is a program that penetrates into the system and intercepts the system functions (Windows API). It can effectively hide its presence by intercepting and modifying low-level API functions. Moreover it can hide the presence of particular processes, folders, files and registry keys. Some rootkits install its own drivers and services in the system (they also remain “invisible”).

Below are some anti-rootkit utilities:

Macro to check if your Outlook Outbox contains any items

 

Here is a macro for Outlook 2007/2010 that will check to see if your Outbox contains anything after Send/Receive completes.

1. Start Outlook
2. Click Tools->Macro->Visual Basic Editor…or press Alt+F11
3. If not already expanded, expand Microsoft Office Outlook Objects and click on ThisOutlookSession
4. Copy the code from the Code Snippet box and paste it into the right-hand pane of Outlook's VB Editor window
5. Edit the code as needed. I included comment lines wherever something needs to or can change
6. Click the diskette icon on the toolbar to save the changes
7. Close the VB Editor
8. Click Tools > Trust Center
9. Click Macro Security
10. Set Macro Security to "Warnings for all macros"
11. Click OK
12. Close Outlook
13. Start Outlook. Outlook will display a dialog-box warning that ThisOutlookSession contains macros and asking if you want to allow them to run. Say yes.

Macro is below

####

Dim WithEvents olkSync As Outlook.SyncObject

Private Sub olkSync_SyncEnd()
If Session.GetDefaultFolder(olFolderOutbox).Items.count > 0 Then
msgbox "A send/receive just completed and there are still unsent items in your Outbox.", vbExclamation + vbOKOnly, "Unsent Item Warning"
End If
End Sub

Private Sub Application_Quit()
Set olkSync = Nothing
End Sub

Private Sub Application_Startup()
Set olkSync = Application.Session.SyncObjects.Item(1)
End Sub
