As the name points out, this is a security tool that will find and remove rootkits from an infected computer – a security tool offered by Malwarebytes, company that builds industry-leading anti-malware and internet security software. Go get Malwarebytes Anti-Rootkit, use it to quickly scan your system, and find out if it is infected or not. If it’s not, great! If it is, Malwarebytes Anti-Rootkit will address the problem.

Malwarebytes Anti-Rootkit works with 32 and 64-bit Windows editions. It provides support for Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8 and 8.1

These are the steps you must go through to get Malwarebytes Anti-Rootkit up and running: download and run an installer -> choose where to extract the installer -> wait for the extraction process to complete -> Malwarebytes Anti-Rootkit will automatically launch.

Malwarebytes Anti-Rootkit has a wizard interface that will guide you through the following 4 steps:

Update – click a button and the most current malware definitions will be downloaded. Now, it goes without saying that you need to be connected to the internet for this.
