A rootkit is a software or hardware device designed to gain administrator-level control over a computer system without being detected. Although rootkits can serve a variety of ends, they gained notoriety as malware, appropriating computing resources without the knowledge of the administrators or users of affected systems. Rootkits can target the BIOS, hypervisor, boot loader, kernel or less commonly, libraries or applications.
Most anti virus software will not detect a rootkit because it comes on after the rootkit has started in the boot memory. When the anti virus starts the rootkit is already hiding doing its job. Most people notice changes happening to their pc and run the anti virus but nothing changes and it might get worse. At this time you probably should consult with some one who can help fill these holes in your system.
