Anti-Rootkits

Anti-Rootkit is an application that finds and removes any rootkit that is hidden on your computer using advanced rootkit detection technology.Rootkits in Windows systems are particularly insidious because they are able to be completely invisible to antispyware programs.There are numerous specialized anti-rootkit products available for the detection and removal of these types of malicious programs. Anti-Rootkit can even remove Trojans and Rootkits that are hiding inside NTFS Alternate Data Streams.

            Note that, on demand anti-rootkits vary in terms of options for removal. Some will only show hidden files/drivers/processes/registry keys but will not remove them.Others will show hidden files/drivers/processes/registry keys but will offer only remove known rootkits.Most of the stand alone anti-rootkit released by AV companies are relatively new.Many will eventually be incorporated into future products to extend anti-rootkit abilities.Surprisingly, most of the current offerings that specifically target rootkits are freeware or open source.
