Reviews for UnHackMe
The notion of an Anti-Rootkit which is a Google Redirecting Fixer is… strange. I really don’t think that it takes a rootkit to redirect searches, or that redirecting searches is the main effect of most rootkits.
As for being an Anti-Bot… What does that mean ? That it would protect you against bots ? That would mean protecting a web site against DDOS attacks, but it’s an entirely different kettle of fish. Or, it might mean protecting your computer against being turned into a bot and attacking others, but there’s no specific protection against that as far as I know. This is done through protecting against malware generally.
Bare-armed “Dmitry” seems ready to pounce against malware with a few karate moves. I think fighting malware takes a little more than this sort of putinesque bravado, but of course I could be mistaken.
PC users have to always face ever-increasing threats and are under constant risk of unwanted access to their personal data and information. Data can be stolen from users by using variety of malware, including Trojans, and rootkits. That is why every PC users need anti-virus and anti-malware tools to protect their personal data and information from online theives.
UnHackMe is a unique and powerful tool that allows you to remove Google Search redirects, rootkits, trojans, backdoors, viruses, worms, adware, spyware, keyloggers, unwanted programs from your PC. It identify and protect your computer against unwanted access to your personal data through ‘rootkits.’
Overview
The download size is small (~18 MB) and the installation process is simple and straightforward. After running it for the first time, you can easily run a scan and start removing junk and malware from your PC completely. You just have to push the ‘Check Me Now!’ button, and select your desired scan type from the pop-up window. There are 4 options in the menu to perform online scan, anti-malware scan, scan in safe mode, and scan before windows starts. After scanning you can decide what to do with each of the identified problems. It lets you delete the file, rate it as ‘false positive’ or ask for additional assistance.
Pros
Easy-to-use & intuitive UI
The UI of this tool is user-friendly and arranged in such a way that all the options are features are easily accessible. The simple layout makes the tool easy to understand and use by all kinds of users even novices. There are only three tabs on top one for checking and scanning, the other one contains settings and options, and the last one contains the logs. There is also a ‘Useful Tools’ tab that lets you download some free useful tools.
Feature-rich tool
Along-with scanning and providing protection against malware, rootkits and other unwated programs, UnHackMe contains a ‘Reanimator’ feature which can perform a full spyware check on your PC.
This tool also lets you Clean, backup and protect your PC. The clean feature is great to ensure complete removal of virus from the PC. You can also backup system files, so they can be restored later if something goes wrong or if their is a virus attack. The buil-in restore manager allows you to easily restore the system files backup when needed.
Moreover, you can activate real-time protection which tackles malware related stuff even before the have any impact on your PC. You can also schedule regular malware scans according to your preference.
Protection against rootkits
Most of the antivirus tools do not have a rootkit scanner to scan for rootkits, and to un root and remove them from your PC. Rootkits allow viruses and malware to ‘hide in plain sight’ by disguising as necessary files that your antivirus software will overlook. Rootkits are activated before your operating system even boots up, they are very difficult to detect and therefore provide a powerful way for attackers to access and use the targeted computer without the owner’s notice. Unlike other tools, UnHackMe has a dedicated rootkit scanner and ensure your PC is safe by double-checking, identifying and removing all types of malware.
Cons
Crashed PC while scanning
It crashed my PC a couple of times while trying to fix the detected issues. I tried to run the anti-malware scan, first time it detected a few files that it labeled as ‘Probably Malicious’. In the next few scans it did not detect anything at all.
Complex Advanced features GUI
The GUI of advanced features is complex and difficult to understand for even people who are good with computers let alone the novices. It seems like the basic mode and the advanced mode are two separate applications. Icons, layout, and interfaces are all different and complex on the advanced mode.
Picks up false positives
Users have to careful while running scans, as it picks up false positives very often. This makes it very difficult for novices to figure out what is good and what is bad for their system, and they may end up cleaning and deleting stuff that can cause there system to become unstable.
Conclusion
UnHackMe is a lightweight tool designed to help you prevent rootkits from harming your computer. It is a perfect tool for people looking to troubleshoot their infected PCs. I would have definitely given it a 4-star rating if only it did not crash my PC this many times.
This is an interesting program, but it didn’t tell me anything new that other security programs haven’t already told me. It red-flagged Download Accelerator Plus (DAP) and YouTube Downloader HD. Both of these free programs have ads in them, which I already knew and have been using for years. It yellow-flagged as “suspicious” a lot of safe programs that I also have been using for years. Epic Privacy Browser also got yellow-flagged. Too often, security programs act like over-protective parents who lock their kid in the house because if they go outside, they might get hurt. This is one of them. Nevertheless I’m going to keep it more so as an information tool, than as a “must take action” software. Thanks for offering it.

This has been a very useful review. Thank you.
This might work better if it were an portable app. because every time i have installed it on my PC it has corrupted my OS and my installed apps. and did nothing but give false positives while ignoring the real threats; leaving me no choice but to refresh my PC because the problems continued after i uninstall it. Use at your own risk!

Thanks for taking the time to comment Mike.
Has anyone else had the same experience as Mike?
If you have, please let us know.
I was planning to give it a go, but after reading Mike’s comment I’m not willing to risk it.
Rootkit has been and will always be a great threat to computers. They create backdoors that give hackers control over your machine. The problem is your average antivirus program won’t detect and un root rootkits unless it has a dedicated rootkit scanner. UnHackMe seeks to fill in the gap. In my opinion, UnHackMe does a great job.
Pros
Simple straightforward interface
The UnHackMe interface is all about searching for and cleaning malware. The user interface is simple and straightforward making it an excellent tool to both beginners and armatures. I especially grew fond of the simple ‘check’ tab that has a quick scan option, all your tools and remote assistance.
On-boot monitoring
Most of the rootkit goes into the boot sector. This is why it is hard to find it without running software that access the boot sector or monitors the boot process. UnHackMe will not only scan the boot sector but also monitor the boot sequence in search for malicious rootkit like implementations.
Detecting hidden processes
I found this feature especially efficient and useful. Comparing my windows task manager with the UnHackMe hidden process logs revealed a ton of hidden process that go unnoticed. This means that this rootkit scanner will identify most of the hidden rootkit no matter what.
Comes with a regular malware scanner
UnHackMe isn’t just all about rootkit. It will also check for regular malware and rootkit making it a comprehensive defense against computer threats.
Cons
Remote assistance
This feature claims to take a scan report and forward it to the UnHackMe team for processing and analysis. I have no idea how it works since this version kept on insisting that I get the premium version of the app to continue. I personally don’t like ‘remote assistance’ from people I don’t know or trust. I’ll actively keep off this feature.
Regular false alarms
UnHackMe labelled a couple of my regular installation files as malware. This is quite misleading to people who don’t understand their system. The good thing is it doesn’t auto clean and it will always create a restore point just in case things go wrong once you hit the clean button.
Verdict
UnHackMe is a super light rootkit and malware scanner that will come in handy to anyone who doesn’t want to run something heavy to get the job done. I is sufficient, but could do better with a couple of improvements to reduce on the false positives and increase scan speeds.

I am aware that we are being used to test and evaluated software so i have used this on several occasions and it did little more then give a lot of false positives on my installed antivirus and other Apps. while ignoring the real problems. it also slowed down or prevented some of my apps from starting It even flagged key parts of my OS as malware and prevented them from working. i uninstall the software but the damage was done so i ended up having to refresh my PC. each time i tried it. I’m happy it works for u, and as i said before i understand we are actually being used as beta tester but!!!! Unless it’s been greatly improved i will stay completely away for this software it just doesn’t play well with my apps and win. 8.1 OS
unhackme is very good anti malware anti spyware software. it removed all Google Search redirects, rootkits, trojans, backdoors, viruses, worms, adware, spyware, keyloggers, unwanted programs. i am very much liked this software.
