RootkitRevealer is good at detecting rootkits, but does not help remove them.

Also see this list at antirootkit.com

I currently have Antivir Rootkit Detection (beta) installed

What a great site! Thanks for posting. Everyone should bookmark it. He's put all the most important security links in one site.

He's one of the spyware mods here on CCleaner (for people who don't know) and has a great selection of screensavers and emoticons as well.

Yeah I like Andy's site too. He's around on a few sites I frequent on the net, and is a very smart guy. A very great addition to this site! :)

I just got myself Darkspy Anti-Rootkit from that site. Looks pretty good, and it`s free.

Recently acquired F-Secures Blacklight, but has a time limit on it. This looks like a good replacement. I know Andy Manchesta is well respected here, so I think it`s a safe assumption to make that anything on his site will be OK.
