Use Windows XP? Get this product NOW

If you use Windows XP, you need to download and runÂ the latest version of Sophos Anti-Rootkit, like, right now.

As far as I know, nobody has ever seen a rootkit in the wild that works on Vista or Windows 7. I also don’t know of any real-live rootkits that work with 64-bit Windows XP. But the vast majority of Windows XP users are vulnerable, and should check their machines.

Now.

This new version of Sophos Anti-Rootkit will run on Windows XP, Vista or Windows 7, both 32-bit and 64-bit. It’s absolutely free, as always. Good product from a good company.
