Comment Re:Define rootkit (Score 3, Interesting) 576

A rootkit is a piece of software that hides itself from the operating system, hiding running processes or files. It doesn't really matter if its malware or not, just the fact that not even the OS can see it while it's running makes it a rootkit. The wow system checker I don't believe hides itself, it just has to run or the game won't.
