Virtualization allows computers to simultaneously run multiple operating systems and applications in separate partitions. "Using this virtualization technology should allow us to develop malware that is 100% undetectable," Rutkowska said.
Since it depends on the virtualization technology that's embedded in the hardware of both AMD and Intel, maybe we should be...
