Tom AZ Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 Sophos Anti-Rootkit1.5 released today. New in this version: * Support for disk and registry scanning on new platforms: Windows Vista, Windows Server 2008, Windows Server 2003 SP2, Windows 7, and Windows 64-bit platforms. * Sophos Anti-Rootkit uses virus data if Sophos Anti-Virus is installed, and will report threats more specifically than if data is not present. * Sophos Anti-Rootkit can now scan every file on the disk instead of just the hidden ones, which will potentially find more malware. This option requires Sophos Anti-Virus to be installed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Andavari Posted July 15, 2009 Moderators Share Posted July 15, 2009 The scanning time has really gotten so much slower with this new version, however it checks all local disks. I found this tidbit interesting though from the release notes, "sort of an up sell to get their av I suppose": ?
