RogueKiller 8.5.4

RogueKiller is a tool written in C, which scans the processes running, and kill those that are malicious.
This tool was developed after seeing that some rogues (eg Security Tools) blocked the execution of disinfection programs, and some programs (eg Rkill) appeared ineffective in killing rogue processes.
So this tool was developed based on speed of execution, which is to clean up the process and clean the registry to make sanitizing faster and safer then with the usual tools.

unique security risk rating
The security risk rating indicates the likelihood of a process being potential spyware, malware or a Trojan. The rating is purely based on behaviour and code analysis, and does not use any signature files.
comments from our experts and user community
full directory path and file name
process description
CPU usage graph
embedded hidden functions (e.g. keyboard monitoring, browser supervision or manipulation)
process type (e.g. visible window, systray program, DLL, IE-plugin, startup service)

Security Task Manager detects unknown malware and rootkits hidden from your antivirus software.

RootRepeal  is a new rootkit detector currently in public beta.

It is designed with the following goals in mind:

Easy to use - a user with little to no computer experience should be able to use it.

Powerful - it should be able to detect all publicly available rootkits.

Stable - it should work on as many different system configurations as possible, and, in the event of an incompatibility, not crash the host computer.

Safe - it will not use any rootkit-like techniques (hooking, etc.) to protect itself.

It is continually updated to detect and remove new hijacks. It does not target specific programs/URLs, just the methods used by hijackers to force you onto their sites.
