AVG, Avast, McAfee, and Norton all offer rootkit removers, either as part of the antivirus package (for an additional fee), or separately. The easiest way to obtain one is to purchase it online at the company's website.
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.
The software looks for running processes that don't match up with the underlying program filename, and the software compares files, registry entries, and processes provided by the OS to the list it generates from the raw data. If the list differ, a rootkit is suspected.
The best internet security software should consist of these qualities: Protection for the user, Antivirus capabilities, Firewall, Rootkit capabilities, and it should be able to detect trojans.
