Question about Windows 7 x64 and Rootkits
Hi everyone. Sorry if this is the wrong place to ask, but I've been curious about this for a while now, and I thought I'd ask the Win7 experts.
Back when I was running an x86 XP SP3 system, there were a variety of readily accessible and easy to run rootkit scanners (Rootkit revealer, GMER, Rootalyzer, Root Repealer). After making the move to Windows 7 RTM x64, I'm surprised to find that most, if not all, are incompatible with x64 systems, or else Windows 7. Does anyone have any suggestions about the best program to use to scrutinize rootkits? I'm currently running ESET's NOD32 v4 for AV, but on-demand scanning for rootkits would be nice for some peace of mind after some issues I've been seeing. Thanks!
