Red October Removal Tool

Red October Removal Tool is a software application developed by Bitdefender to help users remove the Red October virus from their computer.

The tool scans the computer for the cyber-espionage malware, which is able to steal sensitive data and compromise system’s security, and automatically deletes the detected threats.

Since this is a portable program, it is important to mention that it doesn’t leave any traces in the Windows Registry.

You can copy it on any USB flash drive or other devices, and take it with you whenever you to need to delete infected files on the breeze, without having to go through installation steps.

Red October Removal Tool sports a clean and simplistic layout pointing out the fact that the developers didn’t put emphasis on the looks of the utility, but rather on its functionality.

Basically, it proves to be extremely easy to work with this tool, as it automatically removes the threats while scanning the computer.

During our testing we have noticed that the application stresses up the CPU and memory during the scanning process, and needs up to several minutes to finish the task. However, the time needed to complete the operation pretty much depends on the size of your disk.

What’s more, you can start or stop the scanning task and view details about the total number of scanned items, as well as infected and cleaned files.

Last but not least, the tool provides details about each infected file, such file location, virus type, and status. Although it is specifically built to detect and remove the Red October virus, the program is able to identify and other type of threats (e.g. Trojan, Heur virus).

Red October Removal Tool offers a simple yet powerful software solution for helping users get rid of the Red October malware.
