Greeting Everyone

I was disappointed to see that Spybot failed to detect the ROTSCX rootkit infection on my computer this past week.

I was having problems with searches so this malware is a classic DNS hijacker.

I finally found a tool that was able to remove it from Macfee.

Their tool is called Rootkit_Detective.exe

Just a FYI to others...
