Sophos Anti-Rootkit eliminates hidden applications and processes

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.

Sophos Anti Rootkit features:

- 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 1.5.4 is licensed as Freeware for the Windows operating system / platform. Sophos Anti-Rootkit is provided as a free download for all software users (Freeware).
