PMaxKiller is a small but powerful application that is able to scan your PC and remove any trace of the PMax rootkit infection.

The term rootkit stands for a program that infiltrates the system and hooks system functions (Windows API). By hooking and modifying low-level API functions, such malware can effectively hide its presence in a system.

Moreover, rootkits as a rule are able to conceal any processes, folders and files on discs as well as registry keys described in its configuration. Many rootkits install own drivers and services (hidden as well) into the system.
