What is a rootkit and does SecuROM™ have one?
A “rootkit” can be described as software or a set of software tools intended to conceal running processes, files or system data from the operating system and which can open ports to allow remote access to the system. A “rootkit” makes it possible for viruses or other malicious programs (“malware”) to hide content on a user’s PC. In this way, a virus or other malware may remain undetected, even if updated anti-virus software is installed. SecuROM™ does not use any rootkit technology.
