[QUOTE="EndangeredPootis, post: 836070, member: 82260"] Rootkits is a more rare type of malware that instead of using your hard drive it uses other components, most commonly the MBR (Master Boot Record) to hide itself, which, altough doesnt cause a lot of damage to your system, they can do a lot of nasty things such as keylogging passwords to gain access to bank accounts, some even spy on you if you have a web camera, luckily, there are many tools that can be used to find them, however, if no tools work, the only thing left to do is to simply to reformat it.
