It has the ability to scan and delete rootkits, which are used to stealth install ransomware, rogue anti-spyware programs, trojans, and other security threats. Rootkits use hidden and encrypted files and folders to avoid detection by traditional security software. SpyHunter’s newly integrated advanced rootkit detection technology allows it to perform an instant rootkit scan and promptly display a message upon detection. The program will then ask the user to reboot the computer and will remove the rootkit during the reboot process. In order to remove rootkits completely, Windows must be stopped upon boot because rootkits utilize other files that load and run with Windows.
