Kaspersky software along with Symantec are said to have used rootkit cloaking methods in their software programs.
The methods used have been found in the Anti-Virus software that is distributed. The software contains rootkits that allow harmful software to go unnoticed by a computer.
Developing software that requires rootkits should seriously be rethought.
Kaspersky admits to distributing software with hidden information that cannot be discovered by the system tools available on all computers. The hidden information is not harmful and does not belong in the same category as rootkits.
Disabling cloaking features mean developing a patch for the program.
The software does show that it is running but other information remains a secret.
