HI, I have changed the email subject. It should be Anti-Rootkit, not Anti-Toolkit.

There are several pieces of software that can be used to search for these, some more Jaws friendly than others. However, there is a new threat that renders these softwares useless called Rootkits. These install information into memory, the Registry or directly onto your hard disk which gives a false reading to other scan software, thus hiding malicious software. There is a simple but very effective piece of free software to scan and eliminate Rootkits; and what's more I found it very easy to use with Jaws. Find it at: www.sophos.com Once installed, run SARGUI.EXE in the folder where it has been placed, typically: c:\program files\sophos\sophos anti-rootkit Take Care, Gerry Ellis Tel +353-(0)1 282-7791 Mob +353-(0)85 716-8665 If you don't know where you're going, How will you know when you get there?
