Rkill il a tool we use to stop some malicious processes, which are mainly used to unlock a PC infected by a rogue (Trojan fake alert), when malware prevents installation or use an antivirus or malwarebytes for example.

How does a computer virus harm the computer?

A classic "computer virus" was designed to spread through a system or network of computers by establishing itself on files within the operating system, and then sending out copies of itself when these files were accessed. When it had spread from computer to computer, it would execute to affect all of the computers it had spread to, causing harm in some way, like continuous pop-ups or programs to cause computers to crash or reboot. What is commonly termed a "virus" today is a "worm" or "trojan" that is designed to be downloaded and activated unknowingly by the computer's owner. There are numerous functions of trojans and worms. Some can make files unusable, or change their names on the hard drive. Others are designed to collect personal information from the computer, either by accessing files or by intercepting e-mails and data transfers. Some will log the keystrokes of a user to discover filenames and passwords. Modern antivirus programs are designed to -- stop viruses and trojans from entering the operating system -- prevent them from executing once they are there -- to remove them if they are found later.
