TDSSKiller is a utility that was created in order to provide you with a simple means of disinfecting any system that suffers from an infection from the malware family Rootkit.Win32.TDSS. A rootkit is a program or a set of programs designed to obscure the fact that a system has been compromised.

For Windows operating systems, the term rootkit stands for a program that infiltrates the system and hooks system functions (Windows API). By hooking and modifying low-level API functions, such malware can effectively hide its presence in a system. Moreover, rootkits as a rule are able to conceal in the system any processes, folders and files on a disk as well as registry keys described in its configuration. Many rootkits install own drivers and services (hidden as well) into the system.
