hi
i think it would be a good idea if there was a "is it a rootkit" button at the bottem of the rootkit scanner which lets users to automatically submit suspected rootkits for examination as the average user won't have a clue what to do about them

Good idea tom.tw, although I think this would/could be handled through Threat Expert.
We are one family now, so I think this type of issue should be handled through one channel.

i think threat expert is designed for network administrators, most users wouldn't know what to do with the reports:D

if you used an online file scanner such as virustotal which uses 14 (on last count) different AV programs engines, that would work (if virustotal's terms and conditions allow it)

I get what you mean. I will pass this suggestion on.

Thanks
