What stealth software gives privileged rights to a machine without alerting Users or Administrators?

Root kit
Virus
Botnets
Spyware

Explanation

Answer: A- A root kit gives privileged rights to a machine without the knowledge of the user or administrators.

Key Takeaway: Root kits are very hard to detect, and the only way to be sure you no longer a victim is to reload the system from a trusted source. Root kits will intercept communications between the operating system and the user to make it look as if it is not there.
