This is the software publisher’s description.
Sophos Anti-Rootkit is a tool that servers one purpose, in that it eliminates hidden applications and processes that were installed on your system by malicious software.
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.
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.

The new 1.3.1 contains enhanced detection capabilities and many minor fixes and enhancements.

Along with increased detection capabilities Sophos has added support for the following operating systems; Windows Vista Windows Server 2008 Windows 7 Windows 64-bit platforms I believe Sophos Anti-Rootkit is the first tool to support Windows 7 and 64-bit versions of Windows.

Vista Compatability
Just thought would let other potential downloaders know that this program does not support Vista. I downloaded it after it featured in issue 291 and when I tried to run it I got an error message saying that it doesn't support Vista.
