Softpedia Editor's Review for Multi Virus Cleaner 2011
|
A small freeware utility to remove from you computer the most important viruses
Written by Bogdan Popa on November 14th, 2011
There’s no doubt every user out there needs a full-time antivirus solution, just to be sure they’re on the safe side, but when it comes to removing malicious files that are already on the hard drives, things are quickly getting much more complicated.
Multi Virus Cleaner is one of the apps that could assist your antivirus solution in the fight against malware, as it comes with dedicated powers to remove specific dangerous files.
There’s one major issue to be clarified though: Multi Virus Cleaner is not an antivirus per se, it’s just an application that was gifted with detection just for the most popular threats out there, so you can’t rely on it when it comes to finding the most recent malicious files.
Since it’s flagged as ad-supported, extra care is recommended when installing the app because the setup kit also comes with some add-ons and unnecessary tools, such as toolbars, that aren’t required to work properly.
Getting past this step, Multi Virus Cleaner is a great security tool, especially when dealing with famous threats such as Sasser, Netsky or Blaster.
It has a nice and clean interface, providing four different scan modes, as it follows: quick scan, full scan, deep scan and custom scan to let you check just a specific area of your computer. Plus, it gives you the option of scanning the memory, but also to let the app look for spyware files.
Multi Virus Cleaner is quite OK when it comes to computer resources, so it won’t eat up your CPU and RAM, which means you can safely use it on older machines.
All in all, Multi Virus Cleaner is a great app when struggling to deal with well-known threats that are still difficult to remove with the help of stand-alone antivirus products. And thank God it’s free!
