    EDITOR'S RATING

    Softpedia Editor's Review for Geekz Virus Remover

    You can use this software to check and improve the protection status for your computer.

    Written by Bogdan Popa on December 13th, 2011

    Geekz Virus Remover is an application supposed to do exactly the thing its name suggests: clean your computer of viruses, remove the infections and keep you on the safe side.

    Although it may trick you into believing that you're dealing with a full-time antivirus solution, you're not, and you'll get that in the first minute of using it.

    The application has a very, very simple interface, probably way too simple for an antivirus product. There's a single window, with all tools grouped in here, so features are pretty limited.

    You can thus scan all drives, scan a specific drive or folder, scan the entire system or scan a single file. And that's all.

    In order to maximize efficiency, the app also has a specific tool to kill all processes beside the system ones, thus reducing the chances of keeping infected files running on the computer.

    There's a live update feature as well, but no auto-update tool, so you have to do it manually every once in a while.

    Other than that, Geekz Virus Remover is just a basic app. It freezes every once in a while, at least on Windows 7, it eats up most of the CPU and RAM and reacts incredibly slow to every single click in the main window.

    Truth is, it completes a scan in no time, but that's not at all a good thing. Scanning the whole system takes less than a minute, while scanning a single file is a one-second job, so chances are that the app might skip some infected files.

    On a positive note, we liked the simplicity, but otherwise there are simply too many things missing from the app.

    Which means Geekz Virus Remover is not at all a recommended product. It's far from becoming a real antivirus solution and it hardly meets expectations even when dealing with a couple of files.
