    Is there any word yet, on when the new SERT will be available?  Kinda crappy to disable the old one, then have no new tool in place more then a month later, with no ETA...

    The version on FileConnect is from 5/2011, and asks for a PIN to run.  According to the KB linked below, this is intentional after 4/30/12, and to "watch this article" for when the new version would be available.  Just looking for some info, as this is a really great tool.

    Thanks for the info.  PIN worked, and rootkit removed.  ;)  Like I said, a great tool.
