Rootkits can lie hidden on computers and remain undetected by antivirus software. Although new rootkits can be prevented from infecting the system, if you had any rootkits before you installed your antivirus, they may never be revealed.

Removing rootkits without compromising system integrity is particularly challenging and needs to be done with care.

Easy to use and scans pretty fast. Effective rootkit removal. Decent help file. Good recommendations about scan results.
