#5: GMER anti-rootkit
GMER, a free rootkit scanning tool built by Polish Windows internals guru, is widely hailed as the best at ferreting out stealth rootkits from PCs.

GMER does an excellent job of finding hidden processes hidden services, hidden files hidden registry keys, hidden drivers and all kinds of driver hooking.

It can also serve as a process explorer to monitor the creating of processes, the loading of drivers and libraries and file function and registry entries.

In addition to GMER, there are several free anti-rootkit scanners available: DarkSpy AntiRootkit, Trend Micro's Rootkit Buster and McAfee's Rootkit Detective.
