Is referred to as rootkit a software that is in charge of falsifying system information, in such a way to allow other malicious programs (viruses, spyware, adware, etc) to act unpunished.

Imagine that there is a virus installed on our computer. This virus would easily be detectable by the anti-virus. However, if there is a rootkit installed on our PC, and this rootkit is scheduled to hide the activity of the virus, the virus will not be able to detect virus.

Rootkits are used to steal information from your PC, take control of your PC, or send spam from the infected PC. Those are just some of the things that can be performed with a PC infected with a rootkit.
