Sophos Anti-Rootkit 1.3.1

Removing rootkits without compromising system integrity is particularly challenging and needs to be done with care. Sophos Anti-Rootkit will find and remove any rootkit that is hidden on your computer. The term rootkit is used to define a Trojan (or technology) used to hide the presence of a malicious object (process, file, registry key, network port) from the computer user or administrator. Here are some key features of "Sophos Anti Rootkit": · Scans running processes, windows registry and local hard drives for rootkits. · Identifies known rootkits and selects, by default, files for removal which will remove the rootkit component of the malware without compromising OS integrity. · Allows users to remove unidentified hidden files, but does not allow removal of essential system files when hidden by an identified rootkit. · Once the user has run a scan, the screen prompts the user through the necessary steps until every rootkit has been removed. · Users can switch between the GUI and command-line functionality. · Both context sensitive and command-line help are available.
Sophos Anti-Rootkit is a completely free software. You can free download and use it as long as you like.
