Rootkit和Scareware之间的区别

1. Rootkit：
Rootkit是一套应用程序，是一种旨在感染目标PC并允许攻击者安装一组工具的恶意软件，这些工具可以授予他对计算机的持久远程访问权限。该恶意软件通常将自己伪装成“隐藏在普通视线中”的普通文件，因此您的防病毒软件会忽略它们。它使管理员级访问计算机或计算机网络成为可能。目的是从您的计算机上窃取身份信息，通常是为了获得对系统的控制权。很难检测和删除，需要专门的工具才能删除。

2.恐吓软件：
Scareware是一种恶意软件，是一种伪造为合法计算机安全软件的恶意软件，声称可以检测到受影响的计算机上实际上不存在的各种威胁。然后，用户被告知，他们必须购买安全软件来修复计算机，并被激进的弹出式通知所困扰，直到他们提供信用卡号并为毫无价值的安全软件产品支付所需的金额。
