Exir Worm Cleaner

Exir Worm Cleaner is a lightweight and portable application designed to find and remove files infected with Win32.Exir.A. It does this with minimum user intervention, so previous experience with anti-malware programs is not mandatory.

If you think this worm has infiltrated your PC, then you've probably got it via an instant messaging service. It's an old malware agent specifically developed to steal sensitive information from your files, such as credit card numbers or banking data.

Since the tool's not wrapped in a setup kit, you can copy the downloaded files to a preferred directory on the disk or to a USB flash drive, in order to seamlessly run it on any computer. It doesn't change your system registry settings or need DLLs to run.

When it comes to the interface, Exir Worm Cleaner opts for a normal window with a simple design and layout, where you can select a drive and click a button to scan it.

Before doing so, it's advisable to stop the real-time protection module of any anti-malware utility you may have running in the background, in order to prevent software conflicts that likely lead to OS stability issues.

During the scan, you can check out the full path of the currently verified file. Once it finishes, the app reveals the elapsed time along with any infected items, offering to clean them. Restarting your computer is necessary to finalize the process.

It didn't put a strain on system performance in our tests, thanks to the fact that it needed a low amount of CPU and memory to function normally. Scans were carried out quickly, without hanging, crashing or showing error messages.

Thanks to its intuitive GUI and options, Exir Worm Cleaner can be handled by anyone who suspects their machines have been infected with the Win32.Exir.A worm.
