Anti Rootkit for Windows Vista.

F-secure has on 29th Dec released a beta version of it's Black light AntiRootkit software which supports Windows vista. This also supports the Windows 2003 server and will work with all other supported platforms too.

Currently it supports 32 bit versions. But F-secure is adding support for 64 bit OS.

There are currently no known rootkits for the 64 bit operating systems. But since it is not impossible to create rootkits for the 64 bit operating systems F-secure is will be adding support for that too.

As I had mentioned in an earlier article about Kaspersky and Vista, Kaspersky also has released a beta version of it's Antivirus software which supports Windows vista.

You can download the new beta BlackLight here.
