Rootrepeal - new antirootkit

There's a new anti-rootkit released called rootrepeal

Given that most of the other anti-rootkits projects have stopped development (rootkit unhooker for example) or development have slowed (Icesword) - (an exception seems to be GMER which is going strong) , rootrepeal is a welcome addition.

"RootRepeal is currently in public beta. Whereas every effort has been made to ensure compatibility with every system configuration on Windows 2000, XP, 2003 and Vista, it cannot be guaranteed. "

of course, one should always be suspicious of such offerings from unknown sources (a "free" antirootkit might turn out to be a rootkit itself), but this one looks fairly reliable, with past development by "Ad" noted at the sysinternals forum (possibly the second best forum on rootkits/antirootkits open to the public).
