Bitdefender Rootkit Remover

As its name points out, this Bitdefender-developed security solution will help you remove rootkits. Bitdefender Rootkit Remover will scan your PC, detect, and help you remove rootkits. In case you don’t know what a rootkit is, here’s how Wikipedia defines it: “a stealthy type of software, typically malicious, designed to hide the existence of certain processes or programs from normal methods of detection and enable continued privileged access to a computer.”

Bitdefender Rootkit Remover is available for PCs powered by a 32-bit version of Windows. Bitdefender Rootkit Remover is also available for PCs powered by a 64-bit version of Windows. No matter if you get the 32- or the 64-bit version, one thing remains unchanged: Bitdefender Rootkit Remover does not have to be installed. Just run the Bitdefender Rootkit Remover executable and the free rootkit remover will launch.

There’s not much to say about Bitdefender Rootkit Remover’s interface. It is a dark-themed interface that features a green Start Scan button in the upper right hand corner. Click said button and Bitdefender Rootkit Remover will scan your PC. If Bitdefender Rootkit Remover doesn’t find any rootkits, you will be presented with a “No threats detected” prompt.

If the scan detects rootkits, they will be removed. Bitdefender explained that its rootkit remover can handle Mebroot, all TDL families (TDL/SST/Pihar), Mayachok, Mybios, Plite, XPaj, Whistler, Alipop, Cpd, Fengd, Fips, Guntior, MBR Locker, Mebratix, Niwa, Ponreb, Ramnit, Stoned, Yoddos, Yurn, Zegost, and it can clean infections with Necurs. Bitdefender also explained that new rootkit families are added as they become known – consequently, Bitdefender Rootkit Remover will be able to detect and remove any type of rootkit.

Bitdefender Rootkit Remover, a Bitdefender Labs project, is offered for the great price of free.
