A notorious gang that specialises in the theft of banking information through trojans is attempting to protect its work by spreading a rootkit that veils malware.
Antivirus firms Trend Micro and Sophos have developed new tools to discover rootkit infections but both are attacking the problem from a slightly different angle.
Windows Vista will be better equipped to protect itself from malicious rootkits than its predecessor, Windows XP, but because so many 'legitimate' applications use rootkit techniques, Microsoft has decided to implement two crucial anti-rootkit technologies only in 64-bit versions of its new operating system.
Security software vendors may soon side with US government authorities and intentionally fail to report "certain spyware" to customers if ordered by a court to remain quiet, according to a survey of leading firms.
Kaspersky Internet Security 2009 provides adequate protection, but the program itself could use some work in telling the user what's going on.
