McAfee Rootkit Detective Beta is a program designed and developed by McAfee Avert Labs to proactively detect and clean rootkits that are running on the system. Rootkit virus and trojans are hard to remove, this is because they bound themselves to Windows Rootkit, making removing them a threat to Windows itself.
- Designed to proactively detect the system objects like processes, files and registry that are hidden to the user.
- Provides information about various system hooks like SSDT(System Service Descriptor Table) hooks, user/kernel IAT/EAT(Import/Export Address Table) hooks.
- Allows the user to clean/remove the malicious objects from the system by renaming/deleting the hidden files/registry.
- Users can also collect the samples manually after renaming them and submit to stinger@avertlabs.com for further analysis.
McAfee Rootkit Detective should only be used by knowledgeable individuals, having said that, it is always good to have a backup copy of your data. There could be a possibility where the rootkit remover might cause Windows to malfunction.
McAfee Rootkit Detective is not dependent on any signatures and can proactively detect most of the existing and upcoming rootkits and allow the user to clean them.
