I have got message, computer not protected as "anti rootkit kernal mode driver not found". i have done a rootkit search & it says ok.

rang help line, girl from Taiwan,  stressed me so much by not knowing what i am talking about, i had to stop the call.

Grateful for a solution.

avast is totally free, it costs nothing, unless you want the upgrade, which is not worth it.

Plus avast has a remote help function built in which is fantastic.
