OK, so here's the plan. I will shut off my firewall and disable my AV program. I will then intentionally get infected with that particular rootkit. Then I will download and install the patch that the authors of this rootkit issued last week so that when I apply the MS10-015 patch, I won't get the BSOD. Cool! No more incompatibility!

I want to do that too. I think the the best way to understand these things is to experience them for yourself and learn how to fix them. Where do you go to get infected with that particular rootkit? I have been trying for a week.
