1. About RootkitBuster
========================================================================

   Malicious software called rootkits can manipulate the components of
   the Microsoft Windows operating system to conceal how they harm you.
   Rootkits can hide drivers, processes, and registry entries from tools
   that use common system application programming interfaces (APIs).

   Trend Micro RootkitBuster scans hidden files, registry entries, 
   processes, drivers, services, ports, and the master boot record (MBR) 
   to identify and remove rootkits.

   a. Support Windows 8.1 update.

   b. Detection for TROJ_SIMDA.SUSM.
