One method that malware uses to protect itself is to evade detection by antivirus software and other security tools on the computer. This can be achieved by preventing these programs from running or carrying out scans. RKill is a lightweight tool designed to detect and temporarily disable these processes on a Windows operating system, allowing users to effectively eliminate malware from their PCs. It is important to note that RKill does not actually remove any malware from the system; it simply halts the malicious processes temporarily. Therefore, once the computer is restarted, the malware may become active again if not completely removed. As a result, RKill is best utilized as a supplementary tool to complement the existing antivirus software on the computer. By using RKill in conjunction with your antivirus program, you can increase the effectiveness of malware removal and secure your system against potential threats.
