'Blue Pill' Prototype Creates 100% Undetectable Malware
A security researcher with expertise in rootkits has built a working prototype of new technology that is capable of creating malware that remains "100 percent undetectable", even on Windows Vista x64 systems.

The Blue Pill Hype - Creators Response
All the hype started from this article in eWeek by Ryan Naraine... The article is mostly accurate, despite one detail - the tile, which is a little misleading... It suggests that I already implemented "a prototype of Blue Pill which creates 100% undetectable malware", which is not true.

However, experience shows that once proof of concept code is released, virus writers are usually quick to take the code, and adapt it for their own use.
