It's core is a rootkit detector, and the whole program is just a series of bell and whistle modules built around that and shoved into a slightly confusing package.
Experienced users should check it out anyway, but don't take the program's verdict for granted, and be sure to inspect every item carefully before you hit "Fix".Got an UnHackMe free version here last year, and, honestly, this needs a rethink. UnHackMe tries to detect a very wide range of problems, and it can spot some malware, but in our tests most of the items it highlighted were entirely safe. You can remove some or all of these, choose something else, or close UnHackMe without doing anything at all. As with every other section, the most likely threats are checked already. "Browser Search Settings" looks out for modified search settings in Internet Explorer, Chrome and Firefox. "Browser Plugins/ Addins" details potentially unwanted extensions for Internet Explorer, Chrome and Firefox. "Services" displays any worrying Windows services, drivers and other deeply embedded Windows components. "Startup Programs" lists suspect Windows startup programs, scheduled tasks, user shortcuts and more. This gave several false alarms on our test PC, including warning of a URL filtering folder created by Panda Antivirus. "Unwanted files" highlights unwanted or malicious files.
The "Remove." tab lists and allows removing potentially unwanted programs: adware, toolbars, pests you might not even know are installed. You can terminate anything dubious with a click. "Processes" lists suspect running processes, if there are any. Run a quick scan (1 minute) or a full scan (5 minutes), and UnHackMe organises the results across multiple tabs. UnHackMe works like a souped-up antivirus program. First developed back in 2005 to hunt down rootkits, UnHackMe can now find, remove and clean up after browser hijackers, spyware, trojans, keyloggers and more.
