Computer = weird

I knew Kaspersky and McAfee and most other security suites use kernel hooks and rootkits. That isn't a bad thing.

Oh I know... they use it for good reasons.

The problem is:
1) Obviously this makes it hard for Microsoft to patch.
2) (and most relevant) -- It's not that it's good or bad, it's that it's in your system and you had no clue. Well I mean, you do -- but the thing is -- it's next-to-impossible to know there's a rootkit installed on your system.

My suggestion. Download AnVir Task Manager. When you run it, AnVir shows you all startup programs and Windows processes, so you’ll find harmful file in a minute. I always use it when I clean one’s PC. Sorry for the offtopic.
