RogueKiller Malware Removal

Malware, browser extensions and potentially unwanted programs (PUP, PNP) one of the main problems of Windows users today. Especially due to the fact that many antivirus programs simply "do not see" such programs, because they are not completely viruses.

At the moment, there are enough high-quality free tools to detect such threats – AdwCleaner, Malware bytes Anti-malware and others that can be found in our review of the best malware removal tools, and in this article another program like RogueKiller Anti-Malware Adlice Software, about using it and comparing the results with another popular tool.

Using RogueKiller Anti-Malware

In addition to other tools for cleaning from harmful and unwanted programs, RogueKiller is easy to use (although the program interface is not in Russian).

Attention: the program on the official website is available for download in two versions, one of which is marked with the old interface (Old Interface), in the version with the old interface Rogue Killer in Russian (where the RogueKiller download is at the end of the material). In this review, a new design option is considered (I think, a translation will appear in it soon).

The steps for searching and cleaning the utility look like this (before cleaning the computer, I recommend creating a system restore point).

1-            After starting (and accepting the terms of use) of the program, click the "Start Scan" button or go to the "Scanning" tab.

2-            In the "Scanning" tab in the paid version of RogueKiller malware removal tool, you can configure the settings for malware scanning; In the free version, just see what will be scanned and click Start Scan again to start scanning for unwanted programs.

3-            It will run a scan for threats that take longer than the same process in other utilities.

4-            As a result, you will receive a list of unwanted items. At the same time, items of different colors in the list mean the following: red - malicious, orange - potentially unwanted programs, gray - potentially unwanted modifications (in the registry, task scheduler, etc.).

5-            If you click on the “Open Report” button in the menu, more detailed information about all found threats and potentially unwanted programs will be displayed, and they will be sorted into tabs by type of threat.

6-            To remove malware, select what you want to remove in the list from the fourth item and click the Remove Selected button.

Top 5 web Browsers, How does it work?

And now about the search results: a large number of potentially unwanted programs were installed on my test machine, with the exception of one (with accompanying garbage), which you see on the screenshots, which is not identified at all by all similar means.

RogueKiller has found 28 places on the computer where this program is recorded. Of course, this cannot be considered an objective test and it is difficult to determine how the scan will behave with other threats, but there is reason to assume that,

Task scheduler (relevant in the context of a common problem: the browser opens itself with ads).

Disk Boot Area, Hosts File, WMI Threats, Windows Services.

That is, the list is more extensive than in most of these tools (therefore, testing will probably take longer), and if other products of this type do not help you, we recommend that you try them.

Where to download RogueKiller?

You can download RogueKiller for free from the official website https://www.adlice.com/download/roguekiller/ (click the "Download" button under the "Free" column). On the download page, both the program installer and the ZIP archive for the Portable version of the 32-bit and 64-bit version of the system will be available to run the program without installing on a computer.

There is also the possibility of downloading the program with the old interface (Old Interface), in which there is the Russian language.

The free version is not available: set up the search for unwanted programs, automation, skins, using scan from command line, remote start scan, online support from the program interface. But I am sure that the free version is quite suitable for checking and removing minor threats to the user.
