The ARIES Rootkit Remover was desgined to locate and permanently remove the Sony rootkit from the system and disable the rootkit's ability to run once more after reboot.

This standalone tool is a reliable, trustworthy, and safe way of removing the rootkit--unlike Sony's own rootkit remover that has been known to cause blue screens.

This primarily protects consumers and ensures privacy. The tool is developed by Lavasoft in line with our common goals to steer computing environment towards better standards.
