What can rootkit do? |
A rootkit is a stealthy type of malicious software designed to lie hidden on computers and remain undetected by antivirus software. It enables continued administrative access to a computer, allowing access to your personal information. Rootkits are frequently used in combination with other malware to hide them from users and security products. |
Why do I need this? |
The code for creating rootkit is nowadays available online. This increases the likelihood of finding rootkits for OS X in the wild. ESET Rootkit Detector provides a user friendly way to check the integrity of the kernel memory and give information to the user about potential problems. |
What is the |
ESET Rootkit Detector is a small app file. After download, it will scan your Mac running OS X for rootkits. It provides a single-click way to check your Mac for rootkits. |
Why did we develop |
In the last year we have seen rootkit targeting OS X and keeping users safe while online is our mission. Therefore we decided to develop ESET Rootkit Detector and protect our users from rootkits like OSX/Crisis (OSX/Morecut) that was used to spy users and steal information from the Mac. |
