What will Grisoft's free rootkit find?

Grisoft's AVG anti-virus has been high on our recommended list for a long time and their new rootkit detector will join the list.

It's going to be interesting what we see when customers start using it. Our suspicion is that rootkits are far more widely distributed than many people think.

My view is the bad guys have been winning the malware war for some time. I've noticed a lot of spyware infections seem to have been getting more subtle recently. I'm sure this is not a good thing.

We'll be recommending this to all our customers in our newsletter this month.
