UnHackMe: Advanced Rootkit and Fileless Malware Remediation

UnHackMe from Greatis Software is a specialized Windows tool focused on detecting and removing rootkits, fileless malware, adware, spyware, PUPs and other threats that often evade traditional antivirus engines. First released in 2005 and actively updated (current builds as of January 27, 2026), the app targets hidden threats by inspecting startup entries, services, drivers, registry, scheduled tasks, browser settings and more.

Detection Approach and Key Capabilities

Rather than acting as a conventional antivirus, UnHackMe complements existing security suites by using behavior analysis, browser examination and a proprietary database to highlight suspicious items for user review. Notable capabilities include:

• Rootkit scanning: Specialized routines to find deep-hidden programs that bypass standard scanners.
• Fileless malware detection: Checks registry, WMI, scheduled tasks, shortcuts and other non-file locations where modern threats persist.
• Browser and network checks: Examines browser add-ons, search settings, hosts file and DNS for hijacks and malicious redirects.
• Startup and system inspection: Scans startup programs, services and drivers and cross-checks suspicious files with VirusTotal.

Scan Modes, Automation and Support

UnHackMe offers flexible scanning options and automation to fit different needs. Features include:

• Quick Scan: Fast checks of critical areas to spot immediate issues.
• Full Scan: Comprehensive analysis of files, startup items and system settings.
• Scheduling: Automatic scan scheduling for hands-off protection without real-time performance overhead.
• Remote consulting: Built-in support channels and optional remote assistance from the developer for complex removals.

Usability, Performance and Compatibility

The interface is designed for both novices and experienced users, providing clear reports and the ability to mark false positives. The client is lightweight (installer under 50 MB), does not run real-time scans and therefore won’t significantly slow down the PC. UnHackMe is built to work alongside all major antivirus products.

Licensing, Editions and Pricing

UnHackMe is free to use with full features for a 30-day trial. Licensing options include single and multi-PC packages as well as editions tailored for home users, repair shops and business environments. Pricing models offer one-time lifetime licenses with antivirus database updates for some editions, plus annual options for others. Discounts and coupons are occasionally available from the vendor.

Updates, Community and Documentation

Greatis maintains regular updates and publishes detailed removal guides and news about emerging threats. The product includes links to step-by-step removal instructions, a knowledge base that explains fileless malware and various user-contributed reviews. The developer provides direct support and monitors user reports to improve detection rules.

Who Should Use UnHackMe

1. Users who suspect a hidden infection that conventional antivirus tools have missed.
2. Technicians and repair shops needing an offline/portable option for deep-cleaning infected systems.
3. Anyone wanting a complementary, non-real-time tool focused on rootkits, browser hijacks and fileless threats.
