Gurus,
I know Symantec offers RootKit detection tools, as does Panda Security,
F-Secure, to name a few. However, this is addressed to those of you in this
newsgroup, which of those do you prefer to use "out in the field"?

SETUP.EXE on the Windows installation DVD :)
Seriously, I'd rather just wipe-and-rebuild than try to disinfect. How can
you know you're completely clean otherwise?

9 times out of 10, we end up ripping them out by the roots...or doing a
"wipe & reload."

Steve and Robear, I was wondering if that was as clean as a format and clean
install or is my wording just different and means the same thing. <?>

Wipe is "cleaner" than format, and reload is dependent on
exactly what is reloaded.
