The Internet is filled with all sort of threats and malware that could potentially infect your computer and cause serious trouble. Fortunately, there are many antivirus solutions that you can check out.

One of them is Night Dragon - Vulnerability Scanner. It's a McAfee solution that scans your computer to find out if your system is affected by the "Night Dragon" malware.

The application doesn't take long to install and it doesn't come with a complicated setup that you would need to complete, before you can use all of its features. It sports a really intuitive graphical interface, with all features at hand and a layout that allows you to switch between multiple sections and features.

Night Dragon attacks leverage coordinated, covert, and targeted cyberattacks involving social engineering, spearphishing, vulnerability exploits in the Windows operating system, Active Directory compromises, and remote administration tools or RATs.

Night Dragon - Vulnerability Scanner doesn't take long to perform a scan on your device and to determine whether it's vulnerable to the malware. It displays the number of files and it comes with a progress bar so you would see how many items were analyzed.

You can also check the log with scanned items and keep the window on top of all others opened on your desktop.

It automatically retrieves your Hostname/IP and displays it on the screen. It allows you to set the start and end IPs for scans and make some adjustments.

You can enable credentials, randomize scan orders, ping before checking, test for open port 445 before checking, show both infected and non-infected systems, resolve IP addresses to names and more.

There's the option to set the ping connect time and the maximum concurrent checks. Night Dragon - Vulnerability Scanner is a very nice application for checking if your system is infected by the Night Dragon vulnerability.
