![]() Tools like the rootkit scanners from some vendors do not do normal full on scan and repair. ![]() Part of the issue is being able to maintain and control some type of licensing to prevent piracy and abuse. If they go to execute them then the PRO version with file system monitoring would detect and stop it.Ĭlick to expand.We do have a tool already that we're working on that will provide that but it's marketed for the Technician Repair shops and not home users called Techbench As an example Researchers often have hundreds or thousands of "sample" infections on their system but they're not active live infections so there is no threat just having them sit there. I call that flat file scanning myself as its not live active malware and your antivirus is actually better suited to do that sort of flat file scanning to look for some file that is not actively installed and infecting your system. ![]() So again, there is no need to do something different or scan the other drives. Meaning that if for some reason their is active live malware running on your system that is housed and running from the G: drive as an example, we will scan and remove it from the G: drive. We will be integrating that new technology into our 2.0 product though to answer your question.Īs for Quick Scanning a non System Drive it's not supported as it will already do that if it's needed. We already do rootkit scanning in our product but not the same technology and abilities as the stand alone tool does. The stand alone offers a bit more flexibility for updates and functionality without being tied to the main product. If you review rootkit detection and removal I think you will find that most of the major antivirus companies provide stand-alone rootkit scanners as well as integration of rootkit scanning capabilities. ![]()
