[QUOTE="cruelsister, post: 1071167, member: 7463"] Regarding NPE, in the past although it was able to eradicate the actual Worms it left the Startup registry entries in place (not really a big deal, though). However when I tested it now it left the system totally clean (and I added an additional data stealer that persisted as a scheduled task). Although both KVRT and NPE were excellent, K is more time consumptive to use as there are frequent new builds and after malware detection and removal a reboot is needed followed by a mandatory re-scan during which the system is unusable. NPE gives equal results but is much easier and faster, so it can be considered the Cat's Meow (optimal choice) for an occasional scan. Sophos Scan and Clean/HMP is of very little value, and MB performs as it always has against malware in non-exe form. As they will be coming out with version 5 soon I'll withhold further comment as perhaps I'll dance with them on product release. Finally Eset Online Scanner gave surprising results which may be discussed in a future video. (Oh Yeah- I did try out X-sec. Not signed (not a good thing for a security app); as it crashed quickly (tried multiple times) I can't evaluate. [/QUOTE]
