Editorial Review of AVG Anti-Rootkit

One of the most feared of all types of malware is the rootkit, software that is nearly undetectable--and in fact, can't be detected by many, if not most, anti-malware--and can then be used for all kinds of nefarious purposes.

Not uncommonly, rootkits are used to hide Trojans, that can then be used to take over your PC without your knowledge.

The free AVG Anti-Root is designed to protect you. It does one thing, and one thing alone: finds and kills rootkits. Run it and it scans your PC, sniffing them out. When it finds any, it removes them. Note that it doesn't work with Windows Vista.

Duration of ownership: 2 Months

Strengths: very well, found 2 rootkit (which prevent me to connect to Internet) in my PC that even NIS 2009 with latest update unable to found...GREAT!!

Weaknesses: just one, no update

Overall Evaluation: Have faith in this software, it really able to take out Rootkit from your PC. It is NOT antivirus, so you can have it beside your trusted Antivirus. Do not fear that it will slow down your PC, cause it won't. Many AV said it has Anti Rootkit, but only this one prove it's effectiveness (without update)

06-06-2009

Duration of ownership: 1 Days

Strengths: Found and deleted the main rootkit UAC* files (DLLs, SYS drivers, etc) that had infected my PC.

Weaknesses: Missed 3 files which had malformed file types (DL_ & SY_) that were harmlessly sitting out in the open once the other rootkit files were deleted, registry cleaned and PC restarted.

Overall Evaluation: Does exactly what it says! Still need to delete registry entries or use a good registry cleaner/scrubber software; I did both. (BTW, I knew it was UAC* files from Norton 360 - it didn't stop it, couldn't fix it but it identified one UAC*.DLL.) Also no further updates. However, this '06 or '07 version AVG Anti-Rootkit seemed to work just fine!
