In today's computer world, viruses and malware are becoming more and more advanced and it has become really difficult to remove them, even using the most powerful antivirus applications. That's because certain viruses block their files and processes from being deleted, making antivirus applications useless in this case. Fortunately, there is a solution to this problem and that's the LockHunter application.

You can guess what the application is about just by looking at its name. It's a simple Windows program which allows you to unlock or delete any file that otherwise would be impossible to remove. The installation wizard of LockHunter can be completed extremely fast and the program can be easily used, as its interface is intuitive.

After loading the application, the user will only need to load the desired file that he wants to remove. At this point, LockHunter will display the process which locks it and will allow the user to either unlock the file, or unlock and delete it immediately. Besides that, the program is able to close the process that locks the file, thus helping protect your data and privacy, in case the process belongs to a virus or malware.

Besides analyzing files one by one, LockHunter is also able to analyze all the locked files from a certain folder. This will save the user a lot of time and may also protect his data, as all the possible virus files will be deleted at the same time.

Pros

It can unlock or delete any kind of file and can also display the process that locked it. Besides that, the corresponding process can be easily closed using a single click. What's more, the program can unlock all the files from a certain folder.

Cons

Unlocking a file may sometimes damage it. LockHunter allows anyone to easily unlock any file that cannot be removed and also to close the program that locked the file.
