The product detects malicious activities in the operating system kernel.Hypersight Rootkit Detector is the world’s first Fourth-Generation rootkit detector. The Hypersight Rootkit Detector application was designed to detect malicious activities in the operating system kernel. The low-level, highly privileged malicious processes are impossible to be detected with general-use antivirus programs that are executed under much lower privilege levels.

Rootkits are a new generation of malware that are impossible to detect by performing a regular system scan. Rootkits hide their presence in the operating system by hiding or locking their files, modifying process information, or even installing low-level drivers into the system kernel. Generally speaking, rootkits are extremely dangerous stealth viruses.

Hypersight Rootkit Detector employs the innovative hardware virtualization technology implemented by Intel in their latest CPUs. The Intel VT-x technology works as a hypervisor on supported Intel CPUs, encapsulating the entire operating system into a virtual machine. All sensitive events are handled by Hypersight Rootkit Detector, which allows the product to detect, intercept and notify the user about actions that are inherent to rootkit operation.
