rootkits finding the hidden processes??
any good programs that can find the hidden processes that are hidden with root kits? 

for Windows use Rootkit Revealer, you can get it in the useful programs-downloads. for *nix systems use chkrootkit, you can get a RH9-RPM in the Unix/Linux-downloads, source files or RPMs for other distros can be found here: http://www.chkrootkit.org or here: http://www.rpmseek.com


well, depends on what has been found. not everything has to be a rootkit, some normal processes hook up on other ones too. google for the results and/or post what has been found...
rootkits are more used on servers than on normal user boxes, and to install one the system has to be compromised first, it´s not possible to install a rootkit on a box by sending it as an attachment for example like it´s done with the usual malware like trojans.
