F-Secure Releases BlackLight Beta

The announcement by F-Secure that they have released a new BlackLight Beta for Windows Vista and Windows 2003 Server x64 is good news for the security community. F-Secure's BlackLight rootkit scanner is a popular tool used to determine whether a user's computer has been infected with a rootkit. Let's just hope that the added support for Windows Vista will not be needed!
