RootkitRevealer v1.71      
RootkitRevealer is an advanced rootkit detection utility. It runs on Windows NT 4 and higher and its output lists Registry and file system API discrepancies that may indicate the presence of a user-mode or kernel-mode rootkit. RootkitRevealer successfully detects all persistent rootkits published at http://www.rootkit.com/, including AFX, Vanquish and HackerDefender (note: RootkitRevealer is not intended to detect rootkits like Fu that don't attempt to hide their files or registry keys). If you use it to identify the presence of a rootkit please let us know! The reason that there is no longer a command-line version is that malware authors have started targetting RootkitRevealer's scan by using its executable name. We've therefore updated RootkitRevealer to execute its scan from a randomly named copy of itself that runs as a Windows service. This type of execution is not conducive to a command-line interface. Note that you can use command-line options to execute an automatic scan with results logged to a file, which is the equivalent of the command-line version's behavior.
 
Sophos Anti-Rootkit      
Our free software, Sophos Anti-Rootkit, finds and removes any rootkit that is hidden on your computer using advanced rootkit detection technology. Rootkits can lie hidden on computers and remain undetected by anti-virus software. Although new rootkits can be prevented from infecting the system, if you had any rootkits before you installed your anti-virus, they may never be revealed. Removing rootkits without compromising system integrity is particularly challenging and needs to be done with care.
 
BlueMountain Greeting Card Hoax      
In February 1999, BlueMountain.com - a legitimate greeting card site - was the victim of a virus hoax. However, in 2007, the site link was falsely used to trick people into downloading a trojan. But while the link display read bluemountain.com, the underlying HTML code really pointed to a completely different - and malicious -website. For details, see the article Greeting Card Scam Foists Trojans. Details on the original hoax (circa 1999) appear below.
 
Choke.exe is a Worm      
As if understanding viruses, worms, and Trojans weren't difficult enough, the often accompanying misinformation makes the job much harder for many users. A savvy reader reported a hoax that provides misleading guidance to users affected with the MSN Messenger Choke worm. The erroneous warning stated in part, "you must delete all winzip files before you can delete the virus from the computer." As with most such hoaxes, the message ended with the defining statement of nearly all hoaxes: "Please pass this on to n e one else you know..."
