System Modification virus

Despite its name, if your anti-malware software is detecting an infection called System Modification Virus, this name implies that a rootkit has been installed on your computer system. Rootkits are considered among the most severe and difficult to remove malware infections. A rootkit is a malicious malware that is installed on a deeper level than most other kinds of malware. For a rootkit to be installed, a hacker needs to be able to decipher the victim's administrative password, either through brute force or through social engineering. A rootkit has the capacity to corrupt a computer at its very core, while allowing other malware to attack a computer undetected. If your computer has been infected by the System Modification Virus rootkit, this constitutes a severe breach of your computer's security.
