Darn Those RootKits - Arrggg

Well a computer was brought to me last night that was infected with a nasty trojan/rootkit and a variety of other things which makes you wonder..  Shouldn't your antivirus be able to detect and remove such infections??  I mean that is one of the main reasons for having the software to begin with, so what good does it do to block the bad stuff "after" the infection if it let the thing install in the first place.

So I would like to thank all of the virus writers out there, good job guys, you not only proved you are better than the dopey programmers at Microsoft, but you also fuxX0ring wasted my entire evening.
