For anybody on this forum using Windows, I recommend checking out the Sysinternals website at www.sysinternals.com.
The website belongs to a couple of guys who wrote some fairly in depth books on the Windows NT kernel, and is full of information on Windows NT. Also included are some very sophisticated system tools, most of them freely available, that are very useful once you get to understand them.
For those interested, which is what prompted me to post this, check out Mark's blog entry for Nov. 1. It goes in-depth on how he discovered a Sony rootkit on his system, which probably led to the Sony DRM uproar that is currently in the news.
As I said, anybody using or working with Windows, this is an excellent resource.
