Ever wonder what general security apps have some form of rootkit protection or detection capability?
This is an interesting study that considers protective features most studies neglect to measure.

See how your protection fared.

Negster22,
Thanks for the link. Raises the question of how to avoid a future where keeping one step ahead of malicious, "blended" behavior involves a cacophony of complex, defensive layering, layering that's too complex for anyone save the geniuses two standard deviations above the computer knowledge mean. Even their systems will grind to a whimpering halt from the overhead inherent in their own self-protection.
Downloading one more patch and adding another icon to my system tray just can't be an answer. It's a bandaid for a shotgun wound and its behind the curve. Not that I have an answer, but hell, I'd love to hear one from outside the box.
Frustrated by my ignorance,
-P220ST

Which reminds me, theres a great link floating about this forum re NOD32 post-installation settings that I used (for three hours) now lost. The things like 92 pages long printed, hence . . . I didn't print it. Now I lost it. Dammit.
If anyone knows of what I speak, orient me please!

You're probably referring to Blackspear's Extra Settings for NOD32 v2.5 tutorial over at Wilders Security Forums. They are a godsend and do come in very handy, no doubt. So if that's the case, and I'm guessing that it is, then here's a link to that thread. If it isn't, well, I tried
