A new window pops-up, allowing you to perform a malware scan or to clean, protect and backup files on your computer. In order to scan your computer for Trojans, you just have to push the ‘Check Me Now!’ button. The programs’ interface is user-friendly and tab-based, so easy access to options and features is not an issue. IMO better than Defender or Malwarebytes for scanning and catching at least.UnHackMe is a program that tries to identify and protect your computer against unwanted access through a specific type of malware, namely ‘rootkits’. For some reason each new auto update of this software unchecks the coinminer protection (via Hosts file) in its options, kinda annoying.īottom Line: I would definitely recommend for an advanced user as a second option. It also flags a separate installation folder of WinPatrol on first scan or monitor hit. UnHackMe basically flags every new browser addon as well, up to you to determine if safe.

I ended up getting rid of Spywareblaster, being its Chrome and Edge browser immunization is minimal anyway.

Each new update immunization gets flagged. However, it does NOT play well with like Spywareblaster immunization for either Chrome or Edge. Once you tell it it's a false positive it will remember in future. For me I set to every 10 minutes of monitor and 25 hours for scan.Ĭons: UnHackMe does give a lot of false positives initially, this is not for the novice user. It's not truly realtime protection with UnHackMe, but something halfway in between, and you can set how often to monitor your system, as well as scan. UnHackMe does also have a pre-boot scan option. Defender missed the malware, and Malwarebytes (paid version) also missed it. If I had had UnHackMe from the start I'm sure it would have caught it also, all of it. UnHackMe caught a remnant left behind of a bad piece of malware I had gotten that an install of Avast, and its offline scan got.

Pros: A great option to have if only just using Defender, even good option to have if using Malwarebytes.
