rootkit
Explanation:
A rootkit attempts to modify the core system files to look like it is part of the actual operating system. If successful, anti-virus software may not detect the presence of a rootkit. It can then allow unauthorized access to the system. Special anti-rootkit software is available to remove rootkits.
