I believe you are referring to anti-rootkit software. Firstly, a rootkit is something that allows other threats (eg. viruses, spyware) to hide themselves. (Rootkits are often bundled with keyloggers or trojans.) Therefore, conventional anti-virus products cannot remove them because they are hidden. Anti-rootkit software is designed to remove the rootkit.
