RogueKiller is a free anti-malware program that can help advanced users remove malicious programs and processes. The application, which is written in C++, is used to remove rootkits and rogue security software such as ZeroAccess among other advanced threats. However, its new graphic user interface makes it suitable for new users who rely on its basic functions.

How RogueKiller Works
The free anti-malware program uses different methods to detect malware, including:

    Signature finding or classic anti-malware analysis
    Heuristics that involves studying the way malware behaves
    Undocumented hacks

What RogueKiller Does

    Remove malware
    Stop malicious services
    Find and kill malicious processes, including hidden ones
    Unload malicious DLLs from processes
    Remove malicious autostart entries
    Remove registry hijacks
    Fix Proxy, Hosts and DNS hijacks
    Fix malicious Master Boot Record (MBR)
    Find and restore system files that rootkit has faked or patched
    Restore hidden files and shortcuts

Using RogueKiller

We downloaded and saved the executable file on a flash drive. The free anti-malware program started a pre-scan as soon as we launched it and then gave us the option to accept or reject the license agreement before proceeding. Pre-scanning helps to stop any suspicious processes.

Buttons for selecting desired actions are on the left part of the screen. Hovering over a button displays details about what it does, which is especially ideal for new users. Below the buttons are check boxes for enabling or disabling MBR scan, anti-rootkit and verification of fake items. The main part of the screen is divided into two with the upper portion displaying status and lower one displaying areas to be scanned.

Once we selected an action, the program ran another scan after completing the action for verification.

Pros

    Lightweight and portable
    Fast
    Easy to remove rootkits
    Helps to free some memory by terminating processes
    Uses low RAM and CPU
    Multi-language support

Cons

    Interpreting results requires advanced knowledge
    Can sometimes mark innocent things as suspicious
    Sometimes crashes or stops suddenly, requiring a re-start

Although you can use RogueKiller to remove malware, you must exercise caution and use common sense or you may create havoc in your Windows registry by deleting critical entries. Please understand that the application does not replace your antivirus program. Instead, it can help your antivirus remove stubborn viruses by terminating their processes to clear the path, as it were.
