    History of Rootkit/Bootkit and Windows Security

They also give the appearance of Windows to EFI You can select other OS or Windows in "BIOS"Latest news on rootkit/bootkit infection. I downloaded bootkit/rootkit remover from AVG, I could not find them on the drive, after booting from clean Windows media USB drive assuming it's write protected. I even downloaded it to the root drive, on 3 different drives. It eventually showed up after number of reboots.The Infected Windows seems to be keeping different set of NTF
