Rootkits consist of code installed on a system with kernel level privileges, often used to hide malicious files, keylog and thwart detection / security techniques. This makes malware more effective against traditional client-based scanning techniques. The aim of this tool is to reduce the effectiveness of such malware by finding and eliminating rootkits.
