A program or a set of programs for hiding traces of an intruder or malware in the operating system.
On Windows-based operating systems, a rootkit usually means a program that penetrates into the operating system and
intercepts system functions (Windows APIs). Above all, interception and modification of low-level API functions allow
such a program to make its presence in the operating system quite stealthy. A rootkit can usually also mask the
presence of any processes, folders, and files that are stored on a disk drive, in addition to registry keys, if they are
described in the configuration of the rootkit. Many rootkits install their own drivers and services on the operating system
(these also are "invisible").

when you open specified websites.

viruses. Depending on the results of scanning, you may block or allow the execution of a script.
