BitDefender RootkitUncover

BitDefender RootkitUncover is a straightforward and portable software application that detects and removes rootkits from your system, in order to restore full control to your PC's security.

As installation is not prerequisite, you can simply save BitDefender RootkitUncover to a USB flash disk or similar storage unit, in order to run it on any workstation with minimum effort.

What's important to mention is that the Windows Registry is not updated with new entries, and leftover files are not kept by the hard disk after program removal.

At initialization, you can perform a scan task on your PC and look into total and hidden scanned files and processes. BitDefender RootkitUncover automatically detects and removes any found threats in your computer.

Unfortunately, the program cannot be configured in any way. For instance, you cannot specify the directories to scan. Plus, the tool does not provide a real-time protection module, in order to identify and eliminate rootkits on the spot.

However, BitDefender RootkitUncover is very low-demanding when it comes to the CPU and system memory, thus it doesn't affect the overall performance of the computer. It has a good response time and carries out scan tasks very quickly, depending on the size of your hard drive.

Unfortunately, the app has not been updated for a very long time, and it is not supported by newer OS platforms. Nevertheless, thanks to its intuitive layout and overall simplicity, first-time users can easily deal with BitDefender RootkitUncover.
