Hey Guys. Does Norton 360 remove Malware such as RATs (Remote Administrative Tools) ?

 

Also.. Is MalwareBytes a safe system to use?

Hi TuRmoiLxx,

 

From these links,

it looks like signatures for RATs are created by symantec and N360 should be protecting you against RATs.

Regarding your question on malwarebytes --- I do not use malwarebytes.. but have seen several contributors on this forum recommending it. You could look at the following threads:
