Never got infected by one. That's why I cope with just McAfee

Honestly from long time before many viruses infected on this machine but I've never encounter with rootkit.

I have had two different experiences with nasty versions of TDSS. My system survived both.

You ought to see my MBAM quarantine, lol. Yikes

I don't think I've ever really experienced with a rootkit, I mean on the other PC, we most definitely were infected, just it was long time ago when I didn't have a clue what a rootkit is. I don't think I ever had one on my laptop though.

Just once on my old PC, When I was to say a "novice" user back then, I remember when I first installed my first AV, AVG Free it found a rootkit I remember its red bold words exactly.
But since then no infections what so ever.
