Filed Under Windows Vista, Windows XP, windows 7 | Leave a Comment

A basic definition of a root kit is:

“A set of software tools frequently used by a third party (usually an intruder) after gaining access to a computer system.

Root kits are known to exist for a variety of operating systems such as Linux, Solaris and versions of Microsoft Windows.”
