    Hi,

    First apologies if this post is in the wrong place.

    I notice in the Vista/Win 7 Cleaning Procedure thread we are instructed not to download RootRepeal on 64 bit systems. I was just wondering why there is not a 64 bit version avalable? Is one being developed? Root kits work on 64 bit systems, don't they?

    I feel i must say i'm not actually following the cleaning procedure and stopping half way threw just to ask this. I'm just curious.:-D

    You just need to wait for the programmers to catch up with re-writes to accomodate Win 7 64 systems.
