Re: Root kits ...luvly !

....Huge thanx David !

....heaven is http://www.nu2.nu/pebuilder/start/ which pops up a box with
slots where I can point to the drive with my XP Home OEM (sp2 slipstreamed)
cd in it, and the "custom" slot underneath let me "include files and folders
from this directory" i.e. c:\av-cls and off it went and created a
*.iso
....all in about a minute !!

....off I go now to burn a bootable cd-r ...I wonder if it'll work ...
.....I wonder if BartsPE has a rootkit in it !! :-)

regards, Richard

Yes. Sophos is excellent for their detection. However, it would be
*best* doen outside the
running OS. That is by downloading teh Sophos files then booting from a
DOS Boot Disk or a
DOS Boot Disk with NTFS4DOS and then scanning the platform.
