the thread is pretty pointless

It's pointless if you already know what it is.

How often did you go to school and find it pointless? Very often.

Yeah twesterm. Mister SERIOUS. ALL THE TIME!

Some of us didn't know what a rootkit was and were too lazy to care. Then again, some of us already use Windows Vista which is just malware to begin with. So trying to brick a virus with a virus is pretty useless.
