Detecting a rootkit in a computing system may be achieved by detecting, by a virtual machine monitor, a virtualization trap occurring as a result of an action by a rootkit executing in a computing system; and analyzing the virtualization trap to detect the presence of the rootkit in the computing system. Action may then be taken to block the rootkit activity to safeguard the computing system.
