BlackLight Rootkit Elimination Technology detects objects that are hidden from
users and security tools and offers the user an option to remove them. The main
purpose is to fight rootkits and all kinds of malware that use rootkits. The
F-Secure BlackLight Rootkit Elimination Technology works by examining the system
at a deep level. This enables it to detect objects that are hidden from the user
and security software.
F-Secure BlackLight is able to correctly ignore non-malicious objects and
alerts only on real rootkits, which makes it useful even for users without
technical knowledge. It is also able to deal correctly with files that have been
modified during the scanning process. This makes it possible to use it in the
background without interrupting normal work.
