SpyDllRemover is a free Windows utility for detecting spyware, hidden rootkit DLLs and user-land rootkit processes.
What SpyDllRemover is
SpyDllRemover is a free Windows utility for detecting spyware, hidden rootkit DLLs and user-land rootkit processes. It uses heuristic analysis and online threat verification to examine unknown threats, with checks that can use VirusTotal, ThreatExpert, ProcessLibrary and Google. Its listed detection techniques include direct NT system calls, process ID brute force and CSRSS process handle enumeration. The Advanced DLL Ejection feature is described as removing injected DLLs from remote processes. The utility can generate reports about processes, DLLs and threat analysis, and it is designed to run without installation. One important limitation is that SpyDllRemover is a 32-bit application and cannot display DLLs for 64-bit processes, including on 64-bit systems. At launch, it checks its web server for newer versions; its FAQ says it otherwise does not connect to a server on its own. Administrator access is needed to inspect system processes and processes belonging to other users. The listed release is version 7.0, dated July 14, 2016, with Windows 10 support.
