K7 Disinfector

There are many dangers lurking around the Internet, with malicious content, deceiving links and pages filled with malware. Luckily, security companies also create reliable products to help you make sure your computer and your digital identity is protected at all times. While not designed as a full-featured security solution, the K7 Disinfector provides a malware scanner and a removal tool specifically cut out to detect and clean subsets of malware from your machine.

Please be advised that this application is merely a malware scanner that only targets specific categories of known file viruses and infections. Keep in mind that it does not scan for trojans, spyware, or worms. Instead, it offers an accompanying tool for the main K7 products, which can scan the local PC for some malware.

The interface is simple and, frankly, you should be able to tell right from the start that the K7 Disinfector is not meant to be a full-featured security solution to use on a daily basis.

You can easily select the target folder by browsing for it, although it is recommended to let K7 Disinfector analyze all the drives of your computer (this is the option that is selected by default).

The “Options” window is where you can configure the application’s behavior. K7 Disinfector can scan the files based on their extension or target any file, disregarding their type. As for the action to perform, you can configure it to report only or to disinfect the computer as soon as malicious content is found.

The K7 Disinfector generally detects a subset of malicious content and tries to remove the files to clean the PC. On the other hand, there is no information about what can it find exactly. Nevertheless, it is for sure that it makes use of the K7 antivirus engine to eliminate malware.
