I wonder if the same people who write anti viral code are the same people who create the virus. LOL!

If this is stored on the hard drive, boot from a CD, and find it sitting unexecuted on the hard drive.

What do I win?

"Rutkowska stressed that the Blue Pill technology does not rely on any bug of the underlying operating system. "I have implemented a working prototype for Vista x64, but I see no reasons why it should not be possible to port it to other operating systems, like Linux or BSD which can be run on x64 platform," she added.

FreeBSD (OS X) could be vulnerable... PING!

If it cannot be detected, the prevention of the RESULTS of occupation of your system by this malware will be the primary thrust. Outgoing Firewalls will become much more important.

We need to start identifying the authors of such malware as international economic terrorists and treat them as such.

Damn scary stuff. I believe I had a run in with something similar last year.

I won in the end, but it was a tough fight.

Sounds to me like a hardware based back door. Shame on AMD.
