    Anti-Rootkit scanners for x64?


    Hi everyone,

    A year and a half or so ago, I recall that there weren't many options available for rootkit scanning and detection on x64 flavors of Windows 7. In particular, Rootkit Revealer and GMER were non functional on x64 platforms.

    Time has passed, and I'm wondering what options are out there that one can appeal to for rootkit detection on Windows 7 Professional x64? I know there's Sophos AntiRootkit, but beyond that I'm not terribly sure what's what. Which are functional on x64, which are preferred to use, etc?

    Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Hi everyone. It's been a while since the 64-bit version of Win 7 became mainstream. Back when it was new, there were very few anti-rootkit solutions available for any x64 system, and very few people who were concerned about rootkits on 64-bit operating systems. Times, though, have changed....

Hello, I don't know if you guys can answer this, but so far you're 100%. Sophos Anti-Rootkit will often show hidden files which are either wrongly identified or are hidden copies of what appear to be plan downloaded backups of program installers in my download folder, sometimes other. So far it...
