Rootkit

A rootkit is malicious malware designed to remotely access or control a computer without being detected by users or security software programs. Using rootkits, cybercriminals can execute files,steal information, modify configurations, alter software, or even install more malware. Rootkits can be included in software applications and can enter a computer through phishing attacks or through a security vulnerability. A rootkit is very difficult to remove, so prevention is key.

Keylogger

Keylogger malware is a dangerous threat to a PC user’s privacy. It will track your keystrokes and save them in a hidden file on your computer. After a certain amount of time, the file is sent to the hacker automatically, who will use the keystroke data to get your passwords or personal and business information. Keyloggers often enter computer systems as trojans, disguised as a free or useful app or download,and can install itself when users are clicking and browsing the Internet or downloading software.
