The executable gmer.exe appears to be the main executable for a software program called GMER. The software’s publisher appears to be unknown at the moment, as no users or software reviews have associated the software to a specific company. However, the file has not been detected as a legitimate threat to system health. On the occasion that certain antivirus programs did detect the gmer.exe file as a PC threat, the detection was found to be a false-positive. The software actually launches an application that helps maintain system health by detecting rootkits and enabling users to delete them so as to maintain PC health. The file helps users detect rootkits in hidden processes, threads, modules, files, registry keys and hidden disk sectors. Usually, when users try to download and install gmer.exe, the installation process cannot be completed because rootkits already residing in the system have shut down the installation. When this happens, users generally resorted to assigning the file a random name so that it will not be detected by the rootkits in the system.
