This is simply NOT TRUE.

There is very simple and effective method of scanning & deleting rootkits, trojans and other malware...nomatter how well they are "hidden" in your OS. Its very simple: Dont boot the infected hdd:s OS, but some other OS and use that to scan the infected/suspected OS hdd.

Like, for instance, use Avira Antivir Rescue System, its a bootable cdrom with latest virus definition files etc. Just boot from it and scan the computer and remove all the crap you can find.

Its really not harder than that.

Any computerwize person would occasionally do a full scan with that kind of program anyway, even there isnt anything suspicious going on in the computer. Just to make sure, that there really isnt any rootkit or trojan running in your computer.
