This amalgamation will help Microsoft to resolve all the problems concerning worms, spyware, and Trojans and especially rootkits.

The solution is Komoku’s CoPilot, a PCI card that monitors a computer and works independently of the operating system to provide hardware-based, real-time rootkit detection.

Komoku is a veteran owned and operated small business developing high technology and services for customers. Komoku was formed in 2004 and is privately held and self-funded.

Komoku will provide Microsoft with functional solutions in the upcoming versions of the Forefront line of enterprise security products and Windows Live OneCare, Microsoft’s all-in-one PC care solution.
