From the kaspersky forum

this is a good thing to know. This is while useing the extended bases. thread on subject

 

Does this mean that Escan 4.4.7 will also scan for rootkits or this exclusive to just Kav?

 

wat does that mean that the antivirus will remove rook kit or this mean the antivirus brings a separate program antirookkit?

 

It means that apart from the signature-based detection, the Proactive Defense module will also be capable of rootkit detection:

Hi Don,

This looks really great. It will be interesting to see how it eventually compares with other dedicated proactive prevention systems such as ProcessGuard and Prevx.

Hi Rich

Yes, personally i can't wait for it to be released, but we'll have to wait for some months yet, the second prototype will be released shortly and if all goes well the first beta will arrive in may/june, but it's early days yet and a lot can change, so patience will have to do. It was nice though, even for a prototype (the few days i did try it).
