Salitykiller GUI

This is a graphical interface for SalityKiller, the command-line app developed by Kaspersky to locate and remove the Sality virus from infected computers. It does not require installation and comes packed with a handy set of configuration options to put users at ease when it comes to this dangerous malware agent.

As there is no installation pack involved, you can drop the executable file to any part of the hard disk and just click it to run, as long as you have the SalityKiller command-line tool on the PC.

Another option is to save SalityKiller to a USB flash disk or similar storage unit, in order to run it on any PC effortlessly and without previous installers. An important aspect worth taking into account is that it does not alter Windows registry settings or create extra files on the HDD without permission, so no unwanted traces are left behind after its removal.

The UI is user-friendly, made from a regular window with a plain and simple structure, where you can select a file or directory to scan for the virus, as well as ask the tool to check network disks, removable drives, the monitor and all disks, and to remove the autorun.inf file.

The program is also capable of restoring hidden files, disabling autorun, and reverting the Windows registry to a secure status. You can also enable logging, with or without detailed statistics.

Scan jobs are carried out pretty quickly while CPU and RAM usage remains low. No error dialogs were shown in our tests, and the tool did not hang or crash. If you know or just suspect that your computer is infected with the Sality virus, then Salitykiller GUI can help you set things straight again.
