Don't use Deckard's System Scanner (DSS)!!

We found that a recent rootkit infection has been interfering with Deckard's System Scanner (DSS) resulting in possible damage to the Operating System. As such, we have pulled DSS from service, and strongly suggest you delete DSS.exe from your systems.

We shall publish news of an updated DSS.exe as it becomes available.

The sticky at the head of the forum has been updated to reflect these developments. A new alternative called Runscanner is being recommended for use instead.
