"Appears To Work Great"

by 1consultant1 on August 11, 2007

Pros: Fast and appears to be through, although thankfully I haven't any rootkits yet.

Cons: Had to right-click and "Run as administrator," even though I am listed on this computer as the only admin user account for my little home "network" of one desktop computer.

"As good as any I've used."

by Charles K on February 27, 2008

Pros: I like Trend Micro even though I gave the security suite a so so review. This rootkit scanner , fast, free, won't mess you up with false positives and just as effective as any dedicated rootkit scanner I've tried. What I like best about is, theres no program to install like AVG anti-rootkit scanner.

Cons: I do like F-Secure Black Light better and it's also free and available at Softpedia. Why this download isn't available here is perplexing.
