The Sophos Command Line Scanner uses Signature and Heuristics detection to find and remove
infected files.

Anti-RootKit utilities look through known areas of system and Registry for Rooted types of
Trojan infection vectors and list them as possibilities. It takes a knowledgeable
interpretation to understand the results of such utilities. They are NOT for novices.

Please do NOT equate the Sophos anti-RootKit utility with the Sophos command line scanner.
They are as different as night and day.
