Abstract

In computing the virtualization means act of creating virtual version. Hardware virtualization is creating of virtual machine with different operating systems. Both Windows and Linux based operating systems may run on virtual machine. Depending, RAM size is allocated. Now days there are many types of malware that affects our system. Malware like Trojan affect the system and then create the backdoor for the system. Then Hackers keeping watching the users’ activity. Root kit (Backdoor) hides the malware activities .Root kit may be of user mode and kernel mode. Root kit enters via dropper (installs malware).BotNet is same as root kit that network of private computers infected malicious code without knowing to administrator. Malware after entering into system modifies kernel by installing backdoors, logging keystrokes and disabling firewalls. The hook has been detected and thus gives the Malware Rating Index, Processor Id and type of hook.
