Hello, There is much much talk lately about Windoze rootkits, more precisely Win32 full process hiding technologies as used in malicious code. How it is being used by spyware and adware as well as worms and hackers, etc. Companies are starting to scare people and to offer protection. First Winternals/Sysinternals did their RootkitRevealer: http://www.sysinternals.com/ntw2k/freeware/rootkitreveal.shtml Then Microsoft started fear-mongering: http://www.nwfusion.com/news/2005/0217rsa-mic.html?nl Now F-Secure jumped on the bandwagon with their Blacklight Beta: http://www.f-secure.com/blacklight/try.shtml Find out e. g. if your beloved 2003 is being used as a warez distribution hub.
