@paul - i bet he doesn't even get that you are being sarcastic.

@simon - I was thinking the same thing.

@ chad -

32gb holds ALL your music with room to spare?

110gb of music.... and I don't feel like I have a very large collection. I suffer from small collection syndrome. You must suffer from micro-music-collection-syndrome.

so sad.

:p

people still use spybot? and super anti-spyware? hmm. autoruns, yes. gmer (not on the list) yes. process explorer? (not on the list) yes. unlocker? (not on the list) yes.

you can delete the earlier comment, and this one if you like.

*than* freaking everyone out. not *then*.

FF 3.0 rc3? No Thanks. I'll wait until the 2 million users finish bug reporting. That is all this push is for, get more test users. BAD idea. New users who try this, may have a bad experience, thus leaving a bad taste in their mouth. Oh well.

For information and usefulness - yes, Process Explorer has been, and still is the king. But since it is fairly popular now - and considered a windows api, smart rootkit writers can hide processes, dlls, etc from Process Explorer. Don't believe me? You can go to www.rootkit.com and dl a sample of "vanquish" or "hacker defender". Both can hide from Process Explorer - and Autoruns. A decent addition is: gmer.exe It is buggy, and your computer might crash using it - but it can see processes that Process Explorer can't see (and kill them), remove drivers/services that Autoruns can't. Plus it has a really nice logging function to see what goes on during bootup - what parent processes are creating child threads, etc. And if you boot up in "gmer safe mode" - it really is safe mode. Which then allows you to find, delete, remove, etc drivers/services/files that Unlocker and other utilities fail at.

Yes - the gui for it sucks, and the information you get on processes sucks compared to Process Explorer. But like I said, it is a worth addition to your tool kit.
