DDT stands for Digital Disease Terminator and it is a highly configurable, flexible and intuitive application that can be used to run several anti-virus/anti-malware scanners.
Typically these programs would be console applications able to accept file and folder paths passed to them by commands you create.
DDT will then run the programs, either concurrently or consecutively, to process files in the object list which can be built several ways, including by sending file and folder paths to DDT from the Windows Explorer "SendTo" context menu.
DDT also features "QuickScan", a feature which will automatically process files sent to DDT from the SendTo context menu without any user intervention.
Here are some key features of "DDT":
· Portable
· Run multiple, 3rd party anti-virus/anti-malware programs
· Run programs consecutively or concurrently
· Automated downloading, installation and configuration of several free, 3rd party virus scanners, plus the ability to use your own!
· Create, save and quickly switch between multiple commands configurations for running your programs
· Create, save and quickly switch between multiple lists of objects to scan
· Built-in Configuration Editor with tools for editing your configuration files
· Quick access through the Windows Explorer SendTo context menu
· QuickScan feature automatically processes objects sent to DDT from Explorer without any user interaction
· User editable settings file for downloading, updating and configuring DDT installable programs

Limitations:

· Each program now has its own tab with controls for enabling/disabling the program, updating definitions, saving/restoring the configuration, command line syntax help, viewing log files, installing/uninstalling and to visit program website.
· The Scan List occupies the main tab of the GUI and the "Commands to run" section is gone as it is no longer needed. The console is still used heavily, though interaction with DDT is done through message dialogs again (though there are fewer requests for user interaction)
· added support for Avira AntiVir Command Line Scanner (looks like a pretty good scanner)
· added a Folder Monitor function which will monitor a chosen directory for incoming objects, scan the object, then move it to a different directory
· added option to restore default configuration for each program
