A rootkit is a type of malicious software that is activated each time your system boots up. Rootkits are difficult to detect because they are activated before your system's Operating System has completely booted up. A rootkit often allows the installation of hidden files, processes, hidden user accounts, and more in the systems OS. Rootkits are able to intercept data from terminals, network connections, and the keyboard.
Some major companies have been acused of having these built into some software or even music files from cds and such. But more comonly now being used by some hackers and often included into downloads from the more dubious sites.
This is a rough explanation as it is quite a complex and diverse subject. There seems to be more programs being released of late to help deal with the problem.Aint got a signature - as I cant think of anything world wisely to say.0
