Brian writes "In the wake of news that Microsoft is developing prototype 
software to detect rootkits, SysInternals has released a free rootkit 
detection tool named RootkitRevealer for all Windows systems NT4+. 
RootkitRevealer works by "comparing the results of a system scan at the 
highest level with that at the lowest level," and detects every known 
rootkit at rootkit.com. They also report that it is impossible to know 
for sure that a given system is clean from within it, but that defeating 
their tool would require a level of sophistication not yet seen. You can 
download RootkitRevealer."
