[Full-disclosure] Windows rootkits get all the hype

["Tamas Feher" <etomcat@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

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:

Then Microsoft started fear-mongering:

Now F-Secure jumped on the bandwagon with their Blacklight Beta:

Find out e. g. if your beloved 2003 is being used as a warez 
distribution hub.
