Well, if nothing else, at least PrevX CSI agrees with everything else I have here that checks for rootkits. Pete

Prevx is one of a few I use,but my only gripe about it is that everytime I use it..........a popup says that there is a malicious entry in the hosts file and that it can't start until it's deleted and then it gives you a choice to delete it,but doesn't show you the actual entry?

And I'm positive my hosts file hasn't been compromised?

SOME know how listen to both sides of an issue & discuss it,
OTHERS have a closed mind & only know how to criticize.

Just ran this and encountered the same thing. It deleted everything in my HOSTS file and left a single line:
127.0.0.1 localhost

It didn't find any infections scanning it with my original HOSTS file in place or it's 'improved' version of the same.

»www.prevx.com/ (Chose the "Free PC Check Now" button on that page).

If you DON'T want it to install and run resident in SYSTRAY, make sure you DECLINE that choice when it's offered. Pete
