"This article focuses mainly on Windows rootkits – they are the most numerous, they are continuing to evolve, they pose a serious threat for users and because Windows is the most popular OS today, they are widely used by virus writers.
I define rootkits as programs that evade or circumvent standard system mechanisms by using stealth techniques to hide system objects: files, processes, drivers, services, registry keys, open ports, connections and so on." - Content courtesy of Viruslist.com - Rootkit evolution
