What are rootkits? There are many explanations but what I need to say it’s more troublesome than any virus or Trojan! Why? Because it’s not detected by any antivirus software (some AV like nod32 are able to detect few of them) and cause major damage to your computer. My computer has been infected twice and inspite of best antivirus and fully updated windows what solution left to me was to format the hard disk! This is painful for people like me who have lots of important stuff lying here and there in many folders. Today I was surfing and found this software by Panda which claims to remove rootkits, although there are many small utilities and antivirus already available but I know they fail to detect any rootkit when we actually get infected. I will not say that this software does a good job as I have not tested it but since it’s from a trustable company and mainly focus on rootkit removal, it may do the trick. This is a small app (only 996kb) and does not need to be installed, runs directly from single exe file. Neat !!
