As you may be aware, many free Windows Anti-Virus tools do not include Rootkit protection. To get protection against this new threat, one had to upgrade one’s free scanner to the paid version. Not anymore, because I have discovered a great free Anti-Rootkit application.
Sophos Anti-Rootkit Scanning
Sophos Anti-Rootkit is a great little application. Please note that Anti-Rootkit will only run on Windows NT 4, 2K, XP (home and professional), Server 2003, and Small Business Server 2003 (not Windows Vista).
You have three scan locations, that is: Running processes, Windows registry, and Local hard disk drive. I have been using my Windows computer for at least a year, and Anti-Rootkit pointed me towards ‘hidden files’ (two). Removing these files are easy and Anti-Rootkit had no problems. I cannot fault this application.
In conclusion, Anti-Rootkit is a brilliant applications to scan for Rootkits and I highly recommend users of Windows XP download it.
Or, Download Now (download after you accept user agreement).
