Anti-Rootkits detect, remove or repair hidden malware. So basically most antivirus only remove the viruses that the trojans install, and not the trojan itself, and the malware stays hidden on the PC. After trying just about every major anti-virus on the market, I found another software, AVG. Unlike most antivirus software, AVG also includes Anti-Rootkit features, and it is pretty comparable in price of Malwarebyte, but it also includes standard features of antivirus software. AVG also has a full-featured 30-day trial. Only the best solutions for anti-malware/anti-virus software products include the essential Anti-Rootkit features in it's standard package. If your anti-virus software is lacking the Anti-Rootkit features, please upgrade to one that does, otherwise, you're better off saving your PC resources, and uninstalling the defunct software.
