What type of malware can reside in windows restore?
- by qwertymk
I was reading aking1012's comment on How to create Windows Vista/Windows 7 Startup disk or Rescue disk or system restore points on a CD? .
He says that:
The first thing I usually do is disable system restore. Some REALLY nasty malware hides in there and is very difficult to delete. As far as rescue media, I make a full backup image. It doesn't directly address the question so it's a comment not an answer, but I thought it was worth noting
What type of malware can hide there, and how is that possible as the restore info must be stored with a checksome to make sure it's not modified, right?
