I don’t know where you read it but it is wrong. It isn’t incorporated, the avast anti-rootkit scan is based on the GMER rootkit scan, but the major difference you don’t have to have anyone analyse the GMER log as it is an analysis tool only. This is also from the same guy that made the aswMBR tool above.
Thanks for that clarification there. I seem to have found where I saw that GMER was with Avast. It’s HERE post 16 and HERE post 9. Though it did not said directly that GMER was really incorporated with Avast. I vividly remember the word “incorporated” at a post but cannot find it…(well gave up trying to find it THERE… but I suspect it was there. It stuck to my mind and when I saw this post I was confused.
I have used GMER a couple of times when I suspected I had a rootkit(I was with AvastFree). Actually used GMER, Sophos scanners. Both found nothing.
