Rootkit detection is UnHackMe’s central task: it looks for malware that hides deep in Windows and may escape ordinary antivirus scans. Greatis Software also provides controls for reviewing suspicious findings and choosing what to remove.
Rootkit and hidden-malware checks
Rootkits can conceal malicious activity by changing how processes or other parts of the system appear. UnHackMe is designed to find rootkits and hidden malware, including suspicious software that a conventional antivirus scan may miss.
The program is also intended for examining potentially unwanted or persistent items. Its findings are meant to be inspected so you can decide which suspicious entries should be removed.
What happens after a suspicious item appears?
UnHackMe gives you control over removal decisions. Use its results to examine an item, then choose whether to remove it; the workflow is not simply an automatic cleanup of every flagged entry.
- Review suspicious findings.
- Decide which items to remove.
Scheduled scans alongside antivirus
UnHackMe can run on a scan schedule that you customize. This lets you set when its checks take place instead of relying on continuous real-time scanning.
