Detect and delete rootkits

GMER is a free application that detects and removes rootkits. A rootkit is a software system that consists of a program or combination of several programs designed to hide or obscure the fact that a system has been compromised. Contrary to what its name may imply, a rootkit does not grant a user administrator privileges, as it requires prior access to execute and tamper with system files and processes.

GMER detects:

    * hidden processes

    * hidden services

    * hidden files

    * hidden registry keys

    * hidden drivers

    * drivers hooking SSDT

    * drivers hooking IDT

    * drivers hooking IRP calls

GMER also allows to monitor the following system functions:

    * processes creating

    * drivers loading

    * libraries loading

    * file functions

    * registry entries

    * TCP/IP connections 

Compatible Win NT/2000/XP/Vista. Download 275 Kbytes.
