Latest Greivance to Complain About! Rootkits :-(

I thought trojans and viruses were bad enough but Ugh now there is something else I need to watch out for. I was just reading this rootkit thread on a friend of mine’s blog about rootkits. These things are scary! And a lot of anti-virus software cannot effectively detect rootkits.

Anyway there is a free program put out by Microsoft to detect them called Rootkit Revealer. I am going to download it now and see if it finds any on my machine. Here is a screenshot:
