Dorkbot Cleaner

Developed by Eset, Dorkbot.B Cleaner is a command-line utility that scans the computer for the Dorkbot.B worm and attempts to remove it if found.

The tool carries out the scan-and-remove job automatically, keeping user intervention at a minimal. It means that people with no previous experience in antivirus applications may work with Dorkbot.B Cleaner easily.

Installation is not a prerequisite, so Dorkbot.B Cleaner can be considered portable. You can drop the executable file in a custom directory on the hard disk and just click it to run.

There is also the possibility of saving the program to a USB flash drive or similar storage unit, so you can run it on any machine with minimum effort and no previous installers.

The scanning procedure is automatically initialized at startup. If found, Dorkbot.B Cleaner asks for confirmation to remove the worm. There are no other notable options provided by the utility.

Users should keep in mind that this program does not provide real-time protection to the computer against further infections with the Dorkbot.B worm, so you have to install an all-around antivirus program that can do this.

The software utility runs on a very low amount of CPU and RAM, so it does not burden the overall performance of the computer. It carries out a scan task rapidly and does not cause the OS to hang, crash or pop up error dialogs. Thanks to its overall simplicity, Dorkbot.B Cleaner can be handled by anyone.
