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 the 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. They are also able to intercept data from terminals, network connections, and the keyboard.
