It is a good tool to have in the box. I treat infected drives as toxic waste. I have seen infections where you slave the drive into a good computer and if you open the drive in any fashion other then Exploring (

The people writing this stuff are making some amazing attacks. The worst part is most of the stuff is designed to be invisible and some of it is completely impossible to detect on the computer that it is running on. It is really bad because if you don't know you are compromised you will log into your webmail and/or banks and never realize all of your information is being stolen.
