Dr.Web CureIt Introduces On-Demand W8 Virus Scanner

Published on April 6, 2013 By DrJBHL In Personal Computing

Just saw this at gHacks.net.

Dr.Web CureIt is an excellent program. A true “go to”.

The new features in the scanner are:

Implemented a rootkit search subsystem.
Added options to scan the BIOS of the PC for so called bioskits that have infected the BIOS of the computer.
Added a native quarantine manager.
Added an option to block all network traffic during scans.
Added an option to shut down the system after the scan.
Added an option to block low-level file operations.
New custom scan feature to scan specific areas of the system only, for instance boot sectors, startup objects or the memory.
Scanning speed increase and support for multi-threaded scans to utilize multi-core processors.

Won’t cost you a cent, and can give a valuable second or third opinion. It will, however give you no choice as to sending stats to the company.

Incidentally, Dr.Web is a portable program.
