1. A method of detecting kernel level rootkits, comprising: hooking a kernel level detector into loading procedures of an operating system of a processor; in response to detecting a particular event comprising the installation of a new device driver by the operating system, using the kernel level detector to scan, with the processor, a kernel memory, the kernel level detector being located in a kernel space and including kernel level code that is stored and executed in the kernel space; and comparing, with the processor, the kernel memory to at least one rootkit signature file to determine if a rootkit signature corresponding to the rootkit signature file is present in the kernel memory.
