VirAtt Virus Scanner

VirAtt Virus Scanner is a tiny and portable application that scans the computer for malware and attempts to remove any identified infections. It supports several types of malware,Trojans, backdoors and viruses, and does not include complicated options or configuration parameters, making it accessible to all types of users, even those inexperienced with antivirus software.

Since installation is not mandatory, you can save the app directory in any part of the hard disk and just click the executable to launch VirAtt Virus Scanner. An alternative is to save it to a removable storage unit (like a flash drive) so you can have it with you wen you're on the go and scan any computer you come in contact with.

An important factor worth keeping in mind is that, unlike most installers, VirAtt Virus Scanner does not add new entries to the Windows registry, nor create additional files on the disk, so no traces are left behind after its removal.

The GUI does not put accent on the visual elements. Based on a single plain-looking window that shows all options available, VirAtt Virus Scanner automatically scans the system once launched, populates a list with all types of malware, and indicates whether they exist on the computer or not.

If any infections are found, the program can be asked to try to unload or eliminate them. It is possible to rescan the PC as well as to fix any registry issues caused by the respective malware agents. There are no other noteworthy options available here.

We have not come across any unpleasant surprises in our testing, as VirAtt Virus Scanner did not freeze, crash or pop up error messages. It scans the computer rapidly while using low CPU and RAM, so it doesn't significantly affect system performance. Just keep in mind that it cannot prevent incoming threats because it doesn't contain a real-time guard against malware.
