From: Sam Spade on 19 Feb 2010 21:44 I just ordered a new pc from a small system builder. It will have Windows 7 Ultimate. I'm not accusing anyone of anything, but how can I tell whether it comes with a rootkit installed?

The concept of rootkits haven't changed and so the solution of 2006 is still valid and works well. Most Anti-Virus programs have embedded this solution in their products as well. I guess Mark should have re-dated and re-brandied his product to 2010 and changed the article superficially to satisfy the target audience. hth |
