Definition of Backdoors and rootkits
Operating in the same way, these variants of malware
install themselves using exploits and vulnerabilities in network connections and
operating systems, allowing undetected access to your computer system.
Levels of access could be basic, allowing a worm
to spread, but they can also be scarily advanced when combined with other malware,
providing remote control of features such as the mouse, keyboard, disk drive, and
webcam.
Well known versions are freely available on the Internet,
but remainly unmodified will be detected by up-to-date anti-virus software.
More malicious rarely used versions provide more danger.
