Can't run NVT Anti-Rootkit v1.2

[NulFunction]

Hi

I wanted to try it out, but it doesn't start. I tried elevating it and using compatibility settings.
I read that it is 32bit only. I have 64bit system. (Windows 10 Pro) But shouldn't it be downward compatible?

Thanks!

(32-bit ONLY)
Becasue work only on 32 bits system while you have 64 bit.. not compatible across 64bit platform.

If you wanna you can use alternative software
Sysinternals - Autoruns (free)
Sysinternals Utilities - Windows Sysinternals

or use SysTracer (Paid)
SysTracer - Track file and registry changes in your computer

For analyze file you can use tool like
PeStudio or Dependency Walker

How is this the same as Sysinternals Autoruns? I thought it does check for rootkits itself, mostly.

No you have to do it by myself way its just display full tree with all services and other files in your system.

If you wanna something automat, use casual scanner from antivirus or anti-malware where they also have engine/database to detect rootkit like Malwarebytes or Avira.

-bump-
At last you can use yet tool from ESET SysInspector which have build white list which is more friendly for begginer than NVT Anti-Rootkit or Autorun from sysinternals.

But dunno how good is this software i didn't use it.

Oh, ok. Then I don't really need this anyway. But I thought 32 bit programs can run under 64bit systems. Why doesn't this one?

I used SI autoruns before and checked my PC with malwarebyte rootkit after I couldn't launch NVTs.

NVT Anti-rootkit works only on 32-bit OSs (it loads a kernel-mode driver that works only on 32-bit OSs and can't be loaded in 64-bit OSs).

We have no plans for now to add 64-bit support on NVT Anti-rootkit.
