    I occasionally boot my linux systems from a Knoppix CD and run chkrootkit over my hard drive to look for rootkits. Is there a similar product for windows systems?
    The question that was asked.. IS there a LIVE CD that will have the tools LIKE a Knoppix Live CD to scann a Windows box for MALWARE..

    Yes and no.. I understand some use Knoppix in a similar way on windaz..(haven't followed up on this), With "for windows" stuff, mainly pay for, boot cd's like Hirens Boot CD.. or like I am attempting to do build a XP Live cd aka BartPE and place the tools you neeed on there

    Cheers

    You don't have to worry about rootkits unless you have a server or something important on your PC.
    Errr, sorry bout' that one. I don't know what I was thinking when I put it.
