    I found this interesting info on Youtube.com
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gm7WNcNPLKs

    Please, see if that's true, but also note that he is using ZoneAlarm Security Suite 7.0 and NOD32 2.7 which means that he had to disable ZoneAlarm's Antivirus and Anti-Spyware to do that, and also the question how did he configure OSFirewall as well.
    Any comments?

    You cannot even see which version of ZA is using! Looks like ZAfree anyway...

    Yes, it does not mean its ZAPRO... ;)
    But whats the point of this video... you can't even see the settings nor version used. So, sort of rub**sh test.

    People here are arguing about professional testers and testing methods and we get this very 'profound' and 'detailed' youtube demonstration. LOL

    I'll pass on this...

    I agree with fax on this, he could have just put it in game mode.

    FWIW, I also agree.

    Raw data off a youtube site is not worth anything. If a rootkit had bypassed both these mainstream products we would have many more very different sources of information about it.

    This is FUD again.
