Hmmm....well, XP is a trojan then....
K,sasho, the problem is that for using a rootkit you need LITTLE more knowledge than for an ordinary trojan, so it´s not really something for beginners. but both have something in common: in a normal file any virus scanner recognizes them, so you need to have access to the target machine anyway. rootkits are imo nothing for "make a quick little joke with a buddy", they´re more used on exploited servers for giving the attacker a easy way to access the box next time and to prevent that this backdoor is beeing recognized by the server admin. this is why a rootkit is supposed to be running on processor-level, by doing this the process don´t appear in the list (a simple
ps-command would be enough to find it).
well, I would suggest to get some more experience and knowledge first, when you don´t understand the readme-files it makes no sense trying to use these programs (don´t worry, I´m not understanding all of it neither...
)
but if you´re really interested in rootkits (not just on how to use them) check
http://www.rootkit.com ,really weird guys there...

.. amazing..
