Hi Dennis,

Here are some threads at Wilders about IceSword:

I personally run sysinternals RKR every once in a while + found RK analyzer - see my thread http://www.windowsbbs.com/showthread.php?t=49495

http://www.sysinternals.com/Forum/default.asp link to sysinternals forum about their tools. There is a thread about RootKitRevealer - lots of user experience.

At this stage, given the lack of documentation and user experience, I wouldn't put this program on my system.
