Rootkit Detection Coming to Windows AntiSpyware

Eweek is reporting that Microsoft plans to integrate rootkit detection technology from its Strider Ghostbuster research project into future versions of the Windows AntiSpyware application.

Strider Ghostbuster, a prototype tool developed by Microsoft Corp.’s Cybersecurity and Systems Management Research Group, provides a straightforward way to detect Windows rootkits by comparing scan results between a clean system and one that may potentially be compromised.
