You do have to accept the license agreement, but it is something you can burn to a disk and use to clean machines without installation.

It is only free until the end of the month, and it is called MWAV by MicroWorld. It uses the Kaspersky antivirus engine. The definitions allow the program to check for spyware and viruses.


I hope this isn't something someone has already mentioned. I hardly visit this site anymore.

Please always take the time to backup important data and verify that backup, before making any changes suggested.
 
thanks Matt, I will give it a try. I like a product you do not have to install, keeps things a little cleaner

Can't wait to give it a test run!

Good find Matt!
 
I use this scanner regualrly and have posted this in threads to victims.

Does this version have the clean/scan option?

If not use this link instead as this one does clean infections or renames them!


double click on it and it will extract to C:\kaspersky. Click
on the kaspersky folder and click on Kavupd, a black dos window will open
and it will update the programme for you, be patient it will take 5-10
minutes to download the new definitions. Once it's updated, click on mwavscan
to launch the programme.

Use the defaults of:

Memory
startup folders
Registry
system folders
services

Choose drive , all drives and, click scan all files
and then click scan/clean. After it finishes scanning and cleaning post
the log here with a new hijack this log.

Note: this is a very thorough scanner, it might take anything up to an hour
or more, depending on how many drives you have and how badly infected your
pc is.



Highlight the portion of the scan that lists infected items and hold
CTRL + C to Copy then paste it here. The whole log with be extremely
big so there is no way to copy the whole thing. I just need the
infected items list.
