Hi Guys, I have a question to which I'm having trouble finding a suitable answer. What precautions etc can a home user (or anyone else) take to protect against Rootkits http://www.f-secure.com/weblog/archives/archive-032006.html#00000841? Is it a simple case of don't open any dodgy attachements, or is there anymore to it? Is there any decent virus detect/cleaners out there? How about Sony DRM style Rootkits that arrive from a "trusted source"? I just want some ideas and Best Practices to adhere to in this regard.
