It quotes a program manager in the Security Solutions group at Microsoft
itself,
"When you are dealing with rootkits and some advanced spyware programs,
the only solution is to rebuild from scratch. In some cases, there
really is no way to recover without nuking the systems from orbit,"
(Other than installing Linux, of course, but if he said that Bill Gates
would have to kill him... )
