TDSSKiller is a utility created by Kaspersky Labs that is designed to remove the TDSS rootkit. This rootkit is know under other names such as Rootkit.Win32.TDSS, Tidserv, TDSServ, and Alureon.
TDSSKiller will also attempt to remove other rootkits such as the ZeroAccess or ZeroAccess rootkit if it is detected.
A rootkit is a malware program that is designed to hide itself or other computer infections on your computer.
These types of programs are typically harder to remove than generic malware, which is the reason that stand-alone utilities such as TDSSKiller have been developed.
Product Description from Kaspersky Lab :
A rootkit is a program or a program kit that hides the presence of malware in the system.
A rootkit for Windows systems is a program that penetrates into the system and intercepts the system functions (Windows API).
It can effectively hide its presence by intercepting and modifying low-level API functions.
Moreover it can hide the presence of particular processes, folders, files and registry keys.
Some rootkits install its own drivers and services in the system (they also remain “invisible”).
