Kaspersky with new patents...faster and better in recognizing rootkits

Kaspersky registered several patents with the US patent office. Most of them are targeted to increase the speed (most of the readers know that this is a favorite topic of mine). But also new approaches on finding rootkits. Overall none of the patents is really new, according to AV-TEST, a website that tests antivirus solutions.

Here is one of the patents:
