  1. A successfully installed rootkit allows unauthorized users to act as system administrators, and thus to take full control of the 'rootkitted', or 'rooted' system. Secondary to this purpose, most rootkits typically hide files, network connections, blocks of memory, or Windows Registry entries from other programs used by system administrators to detect specially privileged accesses to computer system resources. However, a rootkit may masquerade as or be intertwined with other files, programs, or libraries with other purposes. It is important to note that while the utilities bundled with a rootkit may be maliciously intended, not every rootkit is always malicious. Rootkits may be used for both productive and destructive purposes.
