Any plans for anti-rootkit capabilities in avast! anytime soon, I wonder?

Thanks FWF, That would be a real plus for Avast.

Indeed, further malware (spywares) and rootkit detection would be great…
At least they could post any news to make us dream about 8)

Has anybody tried out this anti-rootkit freebie yet ?

On a clean system it doesn’t find anything.

Which is good because some anti-rootkit programs produce a long list of ‘hidden’ items which turn out to entirely innocent.

But of course it doesn’t indicate how effective it is when there is a rootkit present.

Hi! I just registered to find out about avast! and rootkits. Found out pretty quick, huh? Thanks.

Now if I can figure out how to add avatar, etc? “too large or not an avatar” ???

There is a Profile button at the top of the page, click that and look for Forum Profile Information.

We try to keep the avatars at around 100x100.
