    Hi exodius, and welcome :)


    Bitdefender has us covered on that front when we do a Full Scan, so no worries there. :)

    If you wanted to run a a scan solely for rootkits, you could create a Custom Scan and run that as often as you liked. It is created by opening the main console ->Click the Scan Now from the Antivirus Panel -> Custom Scan -> Add Target -> Scan Options (in your case rootkits, as shown below). Run that scan and it will be saved as a Created Custom scan, which you could add to your favorites.

    If you are talking about separate task for Rootkit Scan only, read point 13 in post.

    Bitdefender already has an anti-rootkit feature that is bult-in in to the product. If you are talking about AVG's anti-rootkit separate module, here it's built in in to the full system scan or in a custom scan.

    I should have renamed it in my above image post to look better, but you can now just click 3 times, and have it set the way you want, including shutting down the PC after the scan.

    Considering that some Avs, as was mentioned above that have a separate module, or 1 click option to run a rootkit scan maybe handy, yet this was pretty easy, and very configurable.


    I would be concerned with Bitdefender trying to add to many more things in the future 2013 version, as they still need to tweak some of the now known issues, and that it could (if not close now) become so big on the PC and system, to become "bloatware", as one AVs had the reputation of in the mid to late 2000s (~2005-2009)

    AVG scans in Anti-Rootkit - now part of a whole computer scan, correction is made ​​in SP1

    Hello everyone :)


    You can scan only for rootkits by creating a custom scan like columbo mentioned earlier.


    Also, it a lot more easier to scan the PC in Rescue Mode:

    Hello :)


    Bitdefender has anti-rootkit and anti-botkit protection.


    Also, here on the forums we do not talk about other security products.
