Thanks a lot Steo, your site covers the Rootkit angle much better than I could ever possibly hope to.

Added a link to the bottom, hope you don't mind.

Nice article. The problem with some Spyware is that it comes with rootkits that can hide the Spyware from Spyware scanners. This is done by modifying the kernel code that tells the spyware scanner "there are no files here".

Rootkits are too good to be true for spyware writers. Even if they keep the spyware hidden for an extra day it will be profitable for the spyware writer to use.
