Sophos Anti-Rootkit1.5 released today.
New in this version:
* Support for disk and registry scanning on new platforms: Windows Vista, Windows Server 2008, Windows
Server 2003 SP2, Windows 7, and Windows 64-bit platforms.
* Sophos Anti-Rootkit uses virus data if Sophos Anti-Virus is installed, and will report threats more specifically
than if data is not present.
* Sophos Anti-Rootkit can now scan every file on the disk instead of just the hidden ones, which will potentially
find more malware. This option requires Sophos Anti-Virus to be installed.

The scanning time has really gotten so much slower with this new version, however it checks all local disks.
I found this tidbit interesting though from the release notes, "sort of an up sell to get their av I suppose":
