About this tag
TDSSKiller is a tool from Kaspersky designed to detect and remove rootkits and other low-level malware. On WindowsForum.com, users frequently mention running TDSSKiller as part of a multi-step malware removal process, often alongside AdwCleaner, Malwarebytes, and other scanners. Common scenarios include browser hijacking (e.g., AVG Secure Search redirect), persistent viruses that cause system reboots, and network issues like browsers failing to connect while other internet functions work. Some users also run TDSSKiller to rule out rootkits when troubleshooting Windows Update errors such as 80072EFE or 8024402C. While TDSSKiller is effective against certain infections, it does not resolve all issues, and users sometimes report no infection found.
