Spybot should detect & remove these rootkits:
1) Rootkit.hearse
It attempts to download several pieces of Spyware, Adware, and Trojans, in addition to the rootkit. The rootkit has two pieces: the first piece is a device driver named 'zopenssld.sys', and a DLL named 'zopenssl.dll'. The device driver appears to cloak any file named 'zopenssld.sys' or 'zopenssl.dll' regardless of where they reside, though the malicious versions are located in the System32 folder. While the DLL was invisible on the file system, it is visible as an injected DLL in many running processes. Since zopenssl.dll registers itself as a Winlogon.exe extension and does not run as a process, most users would never see it, and it can survive even in safe mode. he Trojan appears not to be active at all times, but it does wake up and start communicating when it sees a user browsing to a website that requires authentication. To view it in action, a virtual machine was infected with the rootkit and Trojan, and then the user browsed to hxxx://bankofamerica.com, and entered a fake username and password. All of the network traffic was recorded, and after ending the web browser session, the Trojan communication became apparent. After further investigation, it was determined that this Malware was sending information to a web server located in Russia. Ironically, this web server was not secured, and any user browsing the site could view the information that was being stolen.
