Rootkit is a  technique used by Malware writers to hide their creation on victims computer. Rootkit’s are generally used for monitor traffic and keystrokes, create a “backdoor” into the system for the hacker’s use, alter log files, attack other machines on the network, and alter existing system tools to escape detection. Security  service provider company McAfee, has released a free tool to help users to find and delete these Rootkit’s from their computer.

It will not take more then 5 minutes to download and install McAfee Rootkit. Rootkit Tool gives users to five views to view data, data shown by these views are very technical data.

1. Hidden processes and files

2. Hidden registry keys/values

3. Hooked services

4. Hooked imports/exports

5. All processes

After scanning your computer if you find anything malicious in your computer system, you can either delete or rename files, terminate processes or delete registry entries. If you’re not sure but are suspicious, you can get help from McAfee by selecting a file using the check-box next to it and then clicking the Submit button to send the info to the firm for analysis (this option only works for files, not other items in the scan). In that Submit window, enter your e-mail address and anything you might know or suspect about the file, then click Send. A McAfee tech will get back to you.
