Ashampoo® Virus Quickscan FREE is free for any use. Please note that Ashampoo® Virus Quickscan FREE performs a very fast scan and may therefore not give complete information on whether the PC is possibly infected in system areas outside the scanned. Ashampoo® Virus Quickscan FREE can remove a limited number of infections, but cannot provide long term protection of your PC. With the start of a scan, you agree that anonymous information about your system status is transmitted to the Ashampoo webservers. This is the only technical way possible to do a full cloud based scan of all active processes.

Just finished the scan....Very fast on the scan..around 2-3 minutes , I wonder what do they scan if we take into account the notification :
Code:

Are they scan only the running processes or Win32?
Code:
Ashampoo® Virus Quickscan FREE can remove a limited number of infections
And what does mean "can remove a limited number of infections" .... ???

It's using the Bitdefender engine right?

BTW After you've finished the scan and it didn't find any infection you have two : 1. "Clean/Protect" or "Exit" (which will redirect you to install their suite).....or 2. "Exit". and this is what you see after you click "Exit".
[attachment=603]
The default choice is "Continue with Deep scan and cleaning".... can you say "build" for advertise....no concern for the users?
BTW MBAM is free,solid, no advertise or unwanted screens and a quick scan will find and remove 99,9% of the active malware..so why should we use Ashampoo?
