    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)

    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!

    Weaknesses: Pasted from AVG url: Important notice As AVG Anti-Rootkit is now only included with commercial versions of AVG 8.0. Updates for AVG Anti-Rootkit Free will no longer be available.

    Overall Evaluation: Not up to date.

    Strengths: Easy-to-use interface, fast, thorough

    Weaknesses: None noted so far

    Strengths: free anti-rootkit.
