ESET Online Scanner

Owning a computer that's permanently connected to the Internet can be a luxury but it also implies a series of risks if you don't make sure that your PC's security is at optimal levels. ESET Online Scanner is one of the applications that can help you scan your computer and remove any potentially hazardous file from your system in the blink of an eye.

This application does not require installation on your computer, as simply launching its dedicated executable lets you benefit from its full range of features.

However, before the scanning process begins, you need to accept the End User License Agreement and decide on which components should be included in the scan.

Before you start the scan, you can enable or disable the detection of potentially unwanted applications by selecting the corresponding radio buttons from the "Computer scan settings" section.

Moreover, if you want to adjust advanced options, you can expand the "Advanced Settings" menu, where you can enable the detection of potentially unsafe or suspicious apps, scan archives, enable Anti-Stealth technology and clean threats automatically.

Unlike other similar software solutions, ESET Online Scanner doesn't provide you with constant protection against various harmful components. Instead, it enables you to perform one-time scans in order to detect if any suspicious files reside on your PC. However, it is worth noting that the scans are thorough and might take a while, depending on the PC you run them on.

After the scan is completed, you can clean the identified items by ticking their corresponding checkboxes and hitting the "Clean" button. At the end of the cleaning process, you can view a summary of the performed operations, as well as brief statistics that include the number of scanned files, how many infected files were detected and the total scan time.

To sum it up, if you're looking for a tool that can help you scan your computer for malicious apps and remove any identified item without providing you with real-time protection, maybe ESET Online Scanner is what you're looking for.
