I think J_Rey is saying that it is more assuring to send “rootkits” to Avast Team as possible viruses rather than “complaining” in the forums if you think rootkits are malware.
However, as the name Hacker defender implies, for example, rootkits are neutral in a sense that they simply hide files, which caused the discussion between “educated” people (excuse me for my sarcastic remark but I think education is much wider than security issues although I respect knowledge of people in this forum including plonus). Then again, it is true that their “feature” is used by crackers and some of them seem to contain malware. So, I wonder why Waldo didn’t send them (Vanquisch, He4hook and FU) to Avast team as well as to E-trust before/at the same time posting here. For rootkits discussion is interesting but at least some of them are more than suspicious and threats at the moment rather than in the future.
Just my 2 coppers.
