In the early days
of personal computers, in the age of the DOS command-line operating system,
there were viruses that hid their presence from the users and anti-virus
programs. They did it by intercepting some system calls that were responsible
for reading the files, and lied to the system by filling these calls with fake
information. You could view an infected file right in front of your eyes and
see nothing but legit code! These viruses were called 'stealth' in those days.
When computers
evolved, Windows replaced the DOS. Old viruses did not run under the new
operating system, and it wasn't easy to develop simple hacks to intercept
system calls in Windows. But time has passed, and now there's a new wave of
viruses that can work on Windows and hide their presence even more efficiently
than the stealth viruses of the old days. These new viruses are called
rootkits.
Microsoft tried
to address the problem by releasing their own Rootkit Revealer.
The Partizan
technology is unique to UnHackMe. Microsoft states that there exists no sure
way to know of a rootkit's presence from within a running system. Instead of
trying to combat rootkits on their own ground, Partizan fools them by booting
with the operating system and taking control before any rootkits can load. Anti
virus programs can be very beneficial to you and for your computer system.
While being a
correct concept, this tool fails on too many levels. Microsoft Rootkit Revealer
is intended for use by system administrators and software developers. The
results of its work are not detections but rather hint that there's something
in the system that's hidden. And of course, Rootkit Revealer does not remove
rootkits, making its benefits questionable at best for a regular computer user.
Being the first to load, UnHackMe can safely watch all stages of the Windows
boot process, effectively detecting and terminating any activities attempted by
the rootkits.
Once there's no
rootkit in the computer's memory, detecting and removing one is a matter of
routine. UnHackMe can remove known rootkits by itself or simply block the
rootkit from loading into memory and pass control to your regular anti-virus.
Scanning your
entire PC for the presence of a rootkit with a regular antivirus can take hours
of time depending on the number of files and programs you have. UnHackMe takes
scanning speed to another level by taking only a few seconds every time your
computer loads.
Complement your
antivirus with a rootkit detection and removal system and liberate your PC from
rootkits! UnHackMe with Partizan technology is highly compatible and designed
to complement other antivirus solutions instead of conflicting with them.
Antivirus and anti-rootkit products often conflict with each other. Not
UnHackMe! You can safely pair UnHackMe with an antivirus of your choice,
providing ultimate protection against all kinds of anti viruses and rootkits.
Good luck and I hope that your computer experiences get better each time you
get on.
