New Rootkit Revealer available!

Sysinternals yesterday released a new version of Rootkit revealer after receiving feedback that people using rootkits were starting to add Rootkit Revealer to the 'root process' to continue to avoid detection. 

The new version uses a randomly named executable that runs as a service in order to avoid getting hooked by rootkits that can do simple file name matching - an approch that was discussed in one of my previous blog posts:
