Hi,
I have just installed Vipre on an old Win2K PC and the first scan found a 
"Generic MBR Rootkit", recommended action "Quarantaine".
when I clicked "Clean", it showed up as "Allowed".
scanned again, found the rootkit again, this time I definetely set it to 
"Delete", hit Clean and again it shows up as allowed.

Obviously this kid is able to cheat Vipre.

just ran Malwarebytes, which did not find that rootkit - at least not with 
quickscan. now running deep scan.

any idea how to get rid of that beast?

thanks
Lembit
