Scan your Computer for Free: Kaspersky Virus Removal Tool

Paired with good anti-virus software, Kaspersky Virus Removal Tool is an on demand scanner that can dramatically increase your security.

Using only one kind of antivirus isn’t usually enough to protect you from the different kinds of viruses that are present today. Especially with users of free antivirus software, the protection it offers is usually not enough – even when you are using one of the best free anti-virus softwares from Avira Antivir.

That’s why when you’re a user of free antivirus software, it’s recommended that you also use an On-Demand Scanner which acts to protect you from viruses that could have been missed by your main anti-virus software. Kaspersky Virus Removal Tool for many reasons is a recommended pick.

 

1. Complete Scan and Automatic Removal of Viruses

Kaspersky Virus Removal Tool is an on-demand scanner because of this feature. You can choose to scan the System memory, Startup objects, Disk boot sectors, Documents, Mail databases, Hard Drives and even USB flash drives & DVD/CD drives. Being a Kaspersky product, it uses its detection algorithms from the prominent Kaspersky Antivirus and AVZ Antiviral Rootkit.

Its settings are even customizable so that nothing is missed when you scan your computer. Just click on Settings and then Customize to set the General Settings

 

and then the tab Heurestic Analyzer Settings for better Trojan and Rootkit detection.

 

2. Option for Manual Removal of Viruses

If ever your computer is infected with a virus which needs a special process for removal, you can do this via the Manual Cure feature. Together with experts and virus analysts from Kaspersky lab’s official forum in the Virus-related issues branch, you could execute scripts to remove the most dangerous and most annoying viruses.

 

3. Notification for Update

Another good thing about the Kaspersky Virus Removal Tool is that it notifies you if the program that you have is out of date.

 

It may need to be connected to be able to check if there is a new version of the program. Moreover, you would need to uninstall your old version, download and install it again for you to have the updated version.

 

All in all, having another anti-virus scanner would help increase the security of your computer – and Kaspersky Virus Removal Tool does a great job with it. Besides being an on-demand anti-virus scanner, it has a manual removal feature which is very useful for new and/or hard to remove viruses.
