Does anyone on the forum use this?

@oldschool Personally, I would rather use KVRT instead.

Not available here.

In that case, I believe ESET Online Scanner or EEK will be suitable substitutes.

@Shadowra
Can you give it another try when you have time?Received that at the end of last year:

Spoiler

I'm curious how it would perform.
Thanks in advance!

I use ESET.

re Eset online scanner, I recall it is slow (but thorough) and does user have disable system AV during its scan, if not, does every file get double-scanned ie slow down?

No

does every file get double-scanned ie slow down?

Don't know. It seems pretty much like most other scanners I've used.
