Malware Inspector

Malware Inspector is a simple-to-use anti-malware application designed to scan the computer for viruses, worms, Trojans, spyware, adware and other e-threats, in order to remove them and restore the operating system's stability. It features a real-time guard against incoming attacks, along with two scan modes and other practical tools.

The setup operation is a quick and easy job that shouldn't impose any difficulties, thanks to the fact that Malware Inspector comprises familiar options. It automatically runs at every Windows startup until further notice.

As soon as it's launched, the program creates an icon in the taskbar notifications area and immediately starts its real-time guard to ensure round-the-clock protection against malware.

By bringing up its main panel, it is possible to run a quick or complete scan on the computer to look for any hidden malware. During scanning jobs, you can view the total number of checked objects and identified threats, as well as abort the task. If any infections is found, you can ask Malware Inspector to clean the computer with one click.

It is also possible to ignore items by sending them to a whitelist, view deleted viruses, consult a process manager to terminate any currently running applications, as well as allow Malware Inspector to add new files to the database without warning.

You can exclude the registry from scan jobs, remove Malware Inspector's entry from the Windows autostart sequence, enable warnings only when files are larger or smaller than the ones in the database, change the registry paths for detection, and more.

The tool does not put a strain on computer performance, thanks to the fact that it needs a low quantity of CPU and memory to work. However, it failed to start the scan job on numerous occasions in our tests, although it did not signal any issues. What's more, its real-time guard was completely unresponsive against viruses.

On the other hand, Malware Inspector has not been updated for a while, so it may have compatibility issues with later Windows editions. Unfortunately, it's not as powerful as an all-around antivirus application.
