Fighter of Malicious Softwares.

PUBLISHERS DESCRIPTION:

Spybot - Search & Destroy detects and removes spyware, a relatively new kind of threat not yet covered by common anti-virus applications. Spyware silently tracks your surfing behaviour to create a marketing profile for you that is transmitted without your knowledge to the compilers and sold to advertising companies. If you see new toolbars in your Internet Explorer that you haven't intentionally installed, if your browser crashes inexplicably, or if your home page has been "hijacked" (or changed without your knowledge), your computer is most probably infected with spyware. Even if you don't see the symptoms, your computer may be infected, because more and more spyware is emerging. Spybot-S&D is free, so there's no harm giving it a try to see if something has invaded your computer.

Spybot-S&D can also clean usage tracks, an interesting function if you share your computer with other users and don't want them to see what you have been working on. And for professional users, Spybot-S&D allows you to fix some registry inconsistencies and extended reports.

Free rootkit detection and removal

PUBLISHERS DESCRIPTION:

The term rootkit is used to define a Trojan (or technology) used to hide the presence of a malicious object (process, file, registry key, network port) from the computer user or administrator.

Removing rootkits without compromising system integrity is particularly challenging and needs to be done with care. Sophos Anti-Rootkit finds and removes any rootkit that is hidden on your computer.

Easy to use
As part of its complete protection of endpoint computers, Sophos Anti-Virus detects rootkits and prevents them being installed on any of your desktops, laptops and servers.

Sophos Anti-Rootkit provides an extra layer of detection, by safely and reliably detecting and removing any rootkit that might already have secreted itself onto your system.

Simplified management
Using Sophos Anti-Rootkit is straightforward. Whether you use its simple graphical user interface or run it from the command line you can easily detect and eliminate any rootkits on your computer.

Features of Sophos Anti-Rootkit:

- Scans running processes, windows registry and local hard drives for rootkits.

- Identifies known rootkits and selects, by default, files for removal which will remove the rootkit component of the malware without compromising OS integrity.

- Allows users to remove unidentified hidden files, but does not allow removal of essential system files when hidden by an identified rootkit.

- Once the user has run a scan, the screen prompts the user through the necessary steps until every rootkit has been removed.

- Users can switch between the GUI and command-line functionality.

- Both context sensitive and command-line help are available.

A free way to scan your system and kill malware, particularly good for advanced users

No matter how much anti-spyware protection you've got on your PC, it's not enough. Spyware is notorious for being able to slip through the cracks of anti-malware software, and you're best off if you have more than one anti-malware tool on your PC. That's where this freebie comes in. Use it as a backup to your main anti-spyware program for extra protection.

It doesn't offer "live" protection like some other programs. Instead, use it to examine your system, to see if it's been infected, then kill the malware. It's a surprisingly powerful tool, and with far more features.

But here are the basics: Run it and click the Online Analysis button, and it will check your system for malware, and issue a report online. If it finds any nasties, it will tell you. You can then use the program to delete the malware.

There's plenty more here as well, including tools for viewing what programs are using your TCP ports, and examining programs that run on startup. For a free program, it's surprisingly powerful.

IceSword

Makers of rootkits--malware that can be particularly well hidden--consider IceSword the toughest rootkit scanner.

The creators of the Hacker Defender rootkit, one of the most widely used tools among the bad guys out there, made it their goal to defeat IceSword. So far, they've failed.

IceSword is developed by a Chinese programmer who doesn't speak a word of English, but this download is the international version with English dialog boxes and controls.

Note: IceSword comes compressed in the RAR format, so you may also need to download the WinRar utility before you can use it.
