Rootkit on netbook

[Jack B. Pollack]

I have a netbook (no CD drive) that I believe is infected with a rootkit.
Can someone recommend a bootable anti-rootkit program that can be put on and
run from a flashdrive (and how to make the flash drive bootable ).

Thanks

You should not view the world in terms
of things which you do - or do not - "like";
rather, you should view the world in terms
of how things "actually are", recognizing
and finding acceptance of them as such.

This would immeasurably bring *much* more
stability, peace and tranquility into your life.

I could help you with that... but...
I really just don't like you that much.

Repent! The end is near.... So, smoke 'em if you got 'em.

Do your really know what a rootkit is?

Any AV program running off a closed session CD?

Really, we'd *need* to know the *exact* malware involved. Try an online
scan at symantec.com. Boot to safe mode with network support to do it.

Maybe I am but it works perfectly on XP,Vista and Win7. I think you are mixing up
rootkit and associating it with a virus,trojan or Malware which this is not as
neither any AV or any other security program will find rootkit.
Do you know what a rootkit is at all?
