Rootkit和病毒之间的区别

1. Rootkit：
Rootkit是一套应用程序，是一种旨在感染目标PC并允许攻击者安装一组工具的恶意软件，这些工具可以授予他对计算机的持久远程访问权限。该恶意软件通常将自己伪装成“隐藏在普通视线中”的普通文件，因此您的防病毒软件会忽略它们。它使管理员级访问计算机或计算机网络成为可能。目的是从您的计算机上窃取身份信息，通常是为了获得对系统的控制权。很难检测和删除，需要专门的工具才能删除。

2.病毒：
病毒是附加在另一个可执行文件上的恶意可执行代码，该代码可能无害或可以修改或删除数据。当计算机程序附带病毒运行时，它会执行某些操作，例如从计算机系统中删除文件。病毒无法通过远程控制。
