SpyHunter is an advanced malware detection and removal tool developed by Enigma Software. The software is designed to detect and remove all kinds of malware, including viruses, spyware, adware, trojans, worms, rootkits, and other types of malicious software that can harm your computer.
As malware continues to evolve and become more sophisticated to avoid detection by anti-spyware/anti-virus programs, it responds with advanced technology to stay one step ahead of today’s malware threats.
It offers additional customization capabilities to ensure every user is able to custom tailor the software to fit their specific needs.
It has the ability to scan and delete rootkits, which are used to stealth install ransomware, rogue anti-spyware programs, trojans, and other security threats.
Rootkits use hidden and encrypted files and folders to avoid detection by traditional security software. SpyHunter’s newly integrated advanced rootkit detection technology allows it to perform an instant rootkit scan and promptly display a message upon detection.
The program will then ask the user to reboot the computer and will remove the rootkit during the reboot process.
In order to remove rootkits completely, Windows must be stopped upon boot because rootkits utilize other files that load and run with Windows. Therefore, to prevent rootkits from regenerating on a user’s computer, the app incorporated a customized OS into the program that allows your system to be booted without Windows so that the rootkit may be removed from your computer.
If the software is not able to automatically remove a malware object, the Spyware HelpDesk, an interactive feature integrated into it, allows technicians to remotely analyze your machine and directly deliver a custom fix to specific malware problems that may be unique to your computer.

This allows users to receive one-on-one assistance with malware-related issues as well as custom fixes for specific problems.

In cases where a persistent malware threat cannot be easily resolved, SpyHunter's technical support team can create and deliver a personalized custom fix that is specific to the user's system.
