Rootkits

[Xanth]

One or two of you may have heard of the Rootkits Sony put in some of their CD's. Rootkits are basically for most cases a form of malware, or spyware that can hide or obscure it's self on your computer. I use a program called Rootkit revealer that can help nail down the culprits. This is kind of an advanced program and is not as easy to use as most anti virus softwares, but it is freeware. Here is the website:
