This program does a thorough check on your system to look for irregularities which are typically the work of rootkits, viruses and other malware. This software goes to great lengths to check your system for hidden processes, hidden drivers, hidden threads and detects many different types of hooks, hacks and hijacks.
Note that certain irregularities may be the work of antivirus or another security product that you have installed. This is because security software itself often makes use of the same controversial techniques which are normally associated with malware. This is why it is recommended to first disable all antivirus, antispyware, firewall and other security software which may be running on your system.
In case any irregularities are found the report will attempt to find a responsbile process or module and offer suggestions on how to proceed in the investigation.
Note that although this software creates a comprehensible report it is not intended for absolute novice users who do not have not any type of idea about the software that is installed and running on their systems.
SanityCheck will do great efforts to detect:
Hidden processes
Processes with spoofed names
Processes attempting to appear as standard Windows processes
Processes with obviously deceptive names
Processes without product, company and description information
Valid signatures in processes and kernel modules
Intercepted system services and the modules reponsible
Intercepted kernel routines and the modules reponsible
Intercepted kernel object callout routines and the modules reponsible
Hidden drivers
Drivers with intercepted dispatch entry points
