RootkitRevealer can detect the presence of several common rootkits for Windows computers running NT, 2000, or XP -- but not 95, 98, or Windows Me.
Bummer.

"The tool is still in its infancy, and may have bugs, so Russinovich recommends that, if you're not sure whether a file is associated with a rootkit, you should search the Web and/or Usenet to do some research before taking the drastic step of blowing away your operating system and data."
Say, there...could you let us know when this "tool" is ready to use, documented, and practical? Until then, it's essentially useless except to geeks. Until then, it's not really a tool for users, but for geeks. Sorry, but no thanks.

Interesting.
I'll be more interested when it's deemed ready for primetime.

This is too bad. My folks have Windows 98, and this would be perfect for them to use. They're always worried someone or something is doing bad things to their computer. I'm on my laptop with Windows XP, so there's no problem there. I've also got a desktop with Windows 98.
