Has an anti-rootkit beta out, and MBAM's track record suggests that it will become the product of choice.
I have WinXP on two desktops and Win7 on a laptop. Is there one of the two versions of the Bitdefender app that will work on both systems?
Most rootkit killers have a single version whether 32 or 64-bit and whatever Windows OS.
As more of a casual user if don't run into rootkits much. I first heard of rootkits because of Sony slipping them into their products years ago. The thing is, when Sony got called out on it, I think they had already done it a couple of years earlier and got away with it! Back when the Playstation was geting started there was an emulator called Bleem. Sony hound them out of business in court. They didn't win in court, but the drove the company out of business due to the costs of litigation (sound familiar?). When Bleem came out you ran the install disk loaded a Playstation game and playe it on your PC just like a console. Soon after they started the court case if you loaded a Playstation disk produced later, Bleem wouldn't work! Even earlier titles that had worked before wouldn't. Only way to get them to work again was to reinstall your OS! I looked back on this years later and thought, Hey, that's a rootkit. I believe I'm right but I'm not sure. All I know for sure is it turned me from a LONG time fan of Sony into someone who has boycotted their products ever after!
Very nice article... Wish I could take a printout of the text portion and keep or as a pdf. Can you add a print button on the page?

Ravi: First, click on the line near the beginning of the article that says "This gallery is also available as a post in the TechRepublic Five Apps Blog." That will give you a nice, printable version. Then you should get some nice PDF software such as Nuance PDF Convert Pro which will print to PDF. I have been using it for years.

I have been using Libre Office for about a year now It prints to PDF as an export option. I also use it to fix some MS Word documents with stubborn format problems. Most MS Office users never know that the documents I send them were produced on a non Microsoft product.
It's free.
The downside is that the Calc spreadsheet isn't as powerful as Excel. The Data Base, though is better than Access. Just don't install it with the Java data base. I prefer MySQL or Postgress. (It can be set to use most any database.)
For many uses, it's use of Java for macros can be quite powerful. But, then, I left Basic behind around 15 years ago.
