In depth
A closer look at McAfee Rootkit Detective
McAfee Rootkit Detective is a security software solution designed to find and remove rootkits that infected your system. The application is not an antivirus solution, so you still need to install and run an antivirus product with real-time protection and virus definitions updates; McAfee Rootkit Detective does an excellent job when it comes to getting your computer clean of running rootkits. The application allows you to view hidden processes, hidden registry keys and values, hooked services, imports and exports, plus all running processes, thus making it possible you find the ones that may be dangerous for the computer.
