i dont know if this is common knowledge, and if all of you knew this anyway (more than likely).

Norton rootkit? I didn't know that?

(I'll see if I can find anything else on it)

Not quite right ...

A "rootkit scanner" employed on a system can find rootkit activity ... does not mean you have a 'rootkit virus' not like Sony's blatant attempt to knacker your system.

Although I beleive Norton have a rootkit-type feature.

So, how many more ...
