I'm sure she hasn't got a clue what a rootkit is either but just let her know that
"the rootkit" is the most sinister weapon in the criminal hackers arsenal. Once the criminal hacker has broken into his victims machine he needs to stay on the machine like a parasite, and to go into to deep stealth mode into order to not be removed while he continues to manipulate and use the owner for whatever his sinister intentions are.
And guess what Phorm developed the most sinister
rootkit and injected it into millions of computers around the world in 2005/2006. (The Apropos rootkit) Something former BT CTO criminal
Stratis Scleparis knew about before he allowed 121Media(Phorm) hackers onto the BT premises to break the law and spy on many 10's of thousands of customers with their new Intra-ISP Rootkit.

It has also come to our attention that Phorm was previously known as 121Media.
121Media was the company behind the brand PeopleOnPage. PeopleOnPage is the friendly wrapper around the advertisement engine ContextPlus. Another wrapper was called Apropos, which was one of the most widespread malicious rootkits of 2005. In 2006 the heat was too much and they shut it down. DNS registrars and website content supported that they were all in it together.
