Free on-demand antivirus scanner


drmembrax

Recommended Posts

Hi,

I use Agnitum Outpost Security Suite 8 x64 on Windows 8.

I don't know if I can rely on the antivirus part, so I would like to use another AV to scan critical folders.

I already tried Emsisoft anti-malware (BIG updates, slow scan) and BitDefender Free (old AV engine, background service running).

Of course i sometimes run MBAM.

Do you have any ideas ?

If you think that you are infected, then, currently, you should run a scan with BitDefender because it is the best performing antivirus on date..

If it fixes, all is well..if it doesn't, do a format.

If you are seeking an antivirus for future not to get infected, go for a cloud antivirus as from your post, you are not seemed to be happy and all offline antivirus will make you to feel like that.

Thank you for advices.

My system is not infected. Just in case i have Kaspersky Rescue CD v10 (USB linux bootable & free updates).

I check small files on virustotal dot com, but for bigger files or ISO's must scan locally.

rudrax you're talking about cloud av, i only know webroot's one (not free) and panda. Any alternatives ?

Anyway "60 second" does not scan other directories or drives.

I tried again emsisoft, updates are still FAT (13 Mb, updated yesterday), but it' faster than before.

Thanks for advices !
