Nasty NTFS issue ? [Solved !]

Still, what troubles me is why this defect would be revealed by a chkdsk@boottime.

Because at boot time there are files that aren't locked by the operating system and are therefore accessible for testing.  That's why it's always better to do an offline test and the main reason I always have some form of PE to boot from.

OK !  Thanks.  And also for the Rootkit detectors.

yksyks:
Regarding Sophos: They require to enter my phone number to download. This was enough for me to stop entering any more details. However, I've already entered my mail, and name on a previous page form, but that was not enough for them. I don't know why they need my phone number. Collecting data, perhaps? What else?

So, if you're sensitive about your private details, don't even start filling up the form.

cmpm:
I don't know why they want so much info,
but all I get is their newsletters, which I could unsubscribe to.

Never any phone calls.
You could put an old disconnected number in I suppose.

Anyway, the info thing didn't bother me.
It may stop some from getting these tools.

There is supposed to be an updated rootkit detector coming out in February.

There's also the bootable MSSS, Microsoft Standalone System Sweeper, in both x86 and x64 flavours.

Thank you for contacting Microsoft Support. You have been directed here to download and install the beta version of Microsoft Standalone System Sweeper Beta, a recovery tool that can help you start an infected PC and perform an offline scan to help identify and remove rootkits and other advanced malware. In addition, Microsoft Standalone System Sweeper Beta can be used if you cannot install or start an antivirus solution on your PC, or if the installed solution can’t detect or remove malware on your PC.

It will output to Flash, CD/DVD or ISO.
