Removing rootkits without compromising system integrity
is particularly challenging and needs to be done with care. Our free
software, Sophos Anti-Rootkit, finds and removes any rootkit that is
hidden on your computer.
The term rootkit is used to define a Trojan (or technology) used to hide the presence of a malicious object (process, file, registry key, network port) from the computer user or administrator.
As part of its complete protection of endpoint computers, Sophos
Anti-Virus detects rootkits and prevents them being installed on any of
your desktops, laptops and servers.
Sophos Anti-Rootkit provides an extra
layer of detection, by safely and reliably detecting and removing any
rootkit that might already have secreted itself onto your system.
Using Sophos Anti-Rootkit is straightforward. Whether you use its simple
graphical user interface or run it from the command line you can easily detect
and eliminate any rootkits on your computer.
Our industry-leading anti-virus software, Sophos Anti-Virus, detects and
blocks rootkits that attempt to infiltrate your network.
