Trend Micro RootkitBuster (32-bit)

Trend Micro RootkitBuster is a rootkit scanner for Windows PC that scans hidden files and registry entries. A free tool that scans hidden files, registry entries, processes, drivers, and the master boot record (MBR) to identify and remove rootkits. The latest version of Trend Micro RootkitBuster features an even more sensitive detection system.

A rootkit is a collection of PC software, typically malicious, designed to enable access to a computer or areas of its software that would not otherwise be allowed (for example, to an unauthorized user) and often masks its existence or the existence of other programs.

Because they resist detection by security software, rootkits can be hard to remove once they get onto a computer. Trend Microâ„¢ Rootkit Buster can find rootkits by checking the following:

• Master Boot Record (MBR)
• Files
• Registry entries
• Kernel code patches
• Operating system service hooks
• File streams
• Drivers
• Ports
• Processes
• Services
