Synopsis:
Eliminates hidden applications and processes
Removing rootkits without compromising system integrity is particularly challenging and needs to be done with care. Our free software, Sophos Anti-Rootkit, finds and removes any rootkit that is hidden on your computer.
What is a rootkit?
The term rootkit is used to define a Trojan (or technology) used to hide the presence of a malicious object (process, file, registry key, network port) from the computer user or administrator.
Easily detect and remove rootkits
As part of its complete protection of endpoint computers, Sophos Anti-Virus detects rootkits and prevents them being installed on any of your desktops, laptops and servers.
Sophos Anti-Rootkit provides an extra layer of detection, by safely and reliably detecting and removing any rootkit that might already have secreted itself onto your system.
Simplified management
Using Sophos Anti-Rootkit is straightforward. Whether you use its simple graphical user interface or run it from the command line you can easily detect and eliminate any rootkits on your computer.
Note: Sophos Anti-Rootkit installs files in default C:\SOPHTEMP, but does not make any changes to system files or registry files.

Re: Sophos Anti-Rootkit 1.0
Very old topic update: looks like Sophos Anti-Rootkit (http://www.portablefreeware.com/?id=921) has been merged into Sophos free Virus Removal Tool -- currently at v2.5, portability status unknown (http://www.sophos.com/en-us/products/fr ... -tool.aspx)...
BTW, this is now the official forum topic for Sophos Anti-Rootkit.

Re: Sophos Anti-Rootkit
So several changes here:
1. New website (updated)
2. New version, now at 2.6.1 according to Softpedia
3. It's registerware
I'm tempted to take the program offline until it can be re-tested. Thoughts?
