Wow... a rootkit does all of this by itself? LOL!

LOL, well, no offense to your puff piece, but any low level coder
worth
his/her salt still has nothing to fear from the guys at malwarebytes.

I'm sorry, but.. lol, malwarebytes is no threat to any serious ring0
level coder. it never has been.

Nice puff article otherwise tho. should sell some more licenses.

I hate when I just miss a call by the last ring (Hello? Hello?
Damn it!), but when I immediately call back, it rings nine times and
goes to voicemail. What did you do after I didn't answer? Drop the
phone and run away?
