Malware and the like are nasty horrid beasties.  You probably see the malware remover tools come down each month as part of your security updates, but never think about what it is actually doing?

Well, some scary information is provided at http://virtualteched.com/archive/2006/06/12/74.aspx from Tech-Ed.

What is quite frightening is the number of PCs infected, the number of rootkits and the fact that most still get there with the users consent.
