Rootkits - What next?

[rockart]

I just read about rootkits. Deeply hidden spyware type things that can do damage.


How would I know if I had an a rootkit infection?
Thanks

Hello rockart.

The subject of Rootkits is complex.

If your computer showed signs of malware infection or you experienced Identity Theft, I would direct you to our Malware Removal Forum (http://forums.spybot.info/forumdisplay.php?f=22) for assistance.

Hope that helps. :)
