Root kit detection

wan_14my · 09-23-2007, 04:00 AM

I have one question. Let's say I have root kit in my computer and I schedule my antivirus to scan before the system boot (before the root kit runs). Can my antivirus detect the root kit this way?

Depends if your av has the file definitions for that specific type of root kit
