Today, anything that tries to hide its presence is often refered as a rootkit. |

Acronis AntiVirus 2010 further blocks spyware programs that can track your activities and rids your PC of dangerous rootkit executables. |
|
Nevertheless it would certainly be a plausible threat were an insider to install the rootkit themselves. |
|
Spyware programs that could track your activities are firmly blocked, and dangerous rootkit executables are exposed and eliminated. |

The other piece of crimeware to be aware of is a rootkit called ZeroAccess. |
|
The rootkit detailed in late 2013 could reportedly hop air gaps, survive motherboard firmware rewrites and mess with a variety of operating systems. |
|
Some software may use rootkit techniques to hide from 3rd party scanners to detect tampering or attempted breakins, for example in a honeypot. |
|
The rootkit was discovered because of the way that it collected information on users' PCs and sent the data back to Sony. |
|
However, a rootkit may masquerade as or be intertwined with other files, programs, or libraries with other purposes. |
|
In the case of XCP, active attempts were made to misuse the rootkit mechanism with the release of Trojan horse programs designed to exploit flaws in the software. |
|
We're showing that people with general computer proficiency can create rootkit malware for smart phones. |
|
I just have to refer to the famous Sony rootkit disaster, where Sony decided that on its CDs it was going to put spyware and not tell the consumers. |
|
According to some security researchers, this strain of Trojans then opened up a backdoor channel with a remote host, similar to that a fully-fledged rootkit would normally create. |
|
Repels Internet security threats including viruses, phishing, spyware and rootkit program and turns away spam emails, all within minutes of installation. |
|
Experts and university students alike have found and developed new rootkit technologies that will further increase the difficulty of detecting malware. |
|
This ensures that the security solution has reliable information even if the OS is infected with a rootkit. |
|
To suggest otherwise would be to surrender control over their personal computer and to face the prospect of security breaches, as occurred in the fairly infamous Sony rootkit case. |
|
Other researchers at the conference disagreed on how likely it was that an automated piece of malware could spread such a rootkit due to computer hardware security mechanisms. |
|
|
Microsoft and students at the University of Michigan succeeded in creating a proof of concept virtual machine rootkit that is capable of operating outside the boundaries of the operating system. |
|
A process that is hidden from usermode is hidden by a rootkit. |
|
A driver that is hidden from usermode has rootkit functionality. |
|
If you have an unknown SSDT driver on your machine and you see one or more hidden processes, this indicates a high probability of a rootkit presence. |
|
Usually it's dodgy web sites, or possibly email viruses, that might contain and infect your machine with a rootkit. |
|
Turning to prevention then, they describe antivirus technology, host protection systems, host-based intrusion prevention, rootkit detection, and general security practices. |
