F-Secure® BlackLight
Innovative New Technology

F-Secure 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 BlackLight to detect objects that are hidden from the user and security software.

Benefits:

• F-Secure BlackLight can detect and eliminate active rootkits from the computer. Traditional antivirus scanners can't detect active rootkits.
  
• On a normal system F-Secure BlackLight does not confront the user with a long list of suspected objects. This makes F-Secure BlackLight useful even for non-technical users.
  
• F-Secure BlackLight Rootkit Elimination Technology can be used in the background during normal system operation. Other available scanners require a reboot during scan or may produce false positives if the system is used during scanning.
  
• F-Secure BlackLight is intended for all computer users who want additional security by checking their system for rootkits. F-Secure BlackLight is suitable for use in both home and business environments.

Note: The F-Secure BlackLight Beta works on Windows 2000, Windows XP (32 and 64-bit), Windows 2003 Server (32 and 64-bit) and Windows Vista (32-bit only). The current F-Secure BlackLight beta does not work on Windows NT, 95, 98 or ME.
